Judges 2:1-7 ▼

1 And the Messenger of YHWH goes up from Gilgal to Bochim,

2 and says, “I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you for all time; and you make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land—you break down their altars; and you have not listened to My voice—what [is] this you have done?

3 And I have also said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been for adversaries to you, and their gods are for a snare to you.”

4 And it comes to pass, when the Messenger of YHWH speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,

5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice to YHWH there.

6 And Joshua sends the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;

7 and the people serve YHWH all [the] days of Joshua, and all [the] days of [the] elderly who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of YHWH which He did to Israel.
