Judges 2:1-3 ▼

1 Now the angel (Angel) of the LORD {YHWH} went up from Gilgal (a wheel) to Bochim (weeping) and said, “I brought you⁺ up out of Egypt (land of bondage) and led you⁺ into the land that I had promised to your⁺ fathers, and I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you⁺,

2 and you⁺ are not to make a covenant with the people of this land, but you⁺ shall tear down their altars.’ Yet you⁺ have not obeyed My voice. What is this you⁺ have done?

3 So now I tell you that I will not drive out these people before you⁺; they will be thorns in your⁺ sides, and their gods will be a snare to you⁺.”
