1 And the angel of the Lorde came vp from Gilgal to Bochim, and sayde: I made you to go out of Egipt, & haue brought you vnto the lande whiche I sware vnto your fathers: And I sayde, I will neuer breake myne appoyntment that I made with you. 2 And ye also shall make no couenaunt with the inhabitours of this lande, but shall breake downe their aulters: Neuerthelesse, ye haue not hearkened vnto my voyce: why haue ye this done? 3 Wherfore I haue lykewyse determined, that I will not cast them out before you: but they shalbe as thornes vnto you, and their goddes shalbe a snare vnto you. 4 And when the angel of the Lord spake these wordes vnto all the children of Israel, the people cryed out and wept: 5 And called the name of the sayd place Bochim, & offered sacrifices vnto the Lorde. 6 And whe Iosuah had sent the people away, the children of Israel went euery man into his inheritaunce to possesse the lande. 7 And the people serued the Lorde all the dayes of Iosuah, & all the dayes of the elders that outlyued Iosuah, & had seene al the great workes of the Lorde that he dyd for Israel.
