Judges 2:1–5

Israel Rebuked

1 Now athe angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to bBochim. And he said, “cI brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, ‘dI will never break My covenant with you,

2 and as for you, ayou shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; byou shall tear down their altars.’ But you have not 1obeyed Me; what is this you have done?

3 “Therefore I also said, ‘aI will not drive them out before you; but they will 1become bas thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.’ ”

4 When the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.

5 So they named that place 1Bochim; and there they sacrificed to the Lord.
