1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Now the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break My covenant with you, |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2and as for you, you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.' But you have not obeyed Me; what is this you have done? |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3"Therefore I also said, 'I will not drive them out before you; but they will become as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.'" |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4When the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5So they named that place Bochim; and there they sacrificed to the LORD. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6When Joshua had dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went each to his inheritance to possess the land. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who survived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD which He had done for Israel. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Then Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of one hundred and ten. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals, |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12and they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; thus they provoked the LORD to anger. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13So they forsook the LORD and served Baal and the Ashtaroth. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Wherever they went, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken and as the LORD had sworn to them, so that they were severely distressed. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Then the LORD raised up judges who delivered them from the hands of those who plundered them. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly from the way in which their fathers had walked in obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not do as their fathers. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18When the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed and afflicted them. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But it came about when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them and bow down to them; they did not abandon their practices or their stubborn ways. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He said, "Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers and has not listened to My voice, |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died, |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22in order to test Israel by them, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it as their fathers did, or not." |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23So the LORD allowed those nations to remain, not driving them out quickly; and He did not give them into the hand of Joshua. |
