[1] Yahweh’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you. [2] You shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to my voice. Why have you done this? [3] Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’” [4] When Yahweh’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept. [5] They called the name of that place Bochim,ⓘ and they sacrificed there to Yahweh. [6] Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel each went to his inheritance to possess the land. [7] The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel. [8] Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old. [9] They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash. [10] After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know Yahweh, nor the work which he had done for Israel. [11] The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and served the Baals. [12] They abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked Yahweh to anger. [13] They abandoned Yahweh, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth. [14] Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies. [15] Wherever they went out, Yahweh’s hand was against them for evil, as Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them; and they were very distressed. [16] Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them. [17] Yet they didn’t listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying Yahweh’s commandments. They didn’t do so. [18] When Yahweh raised up judges for them, then Yahweh was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved Yahweh because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them. [19] But when the judge was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways. [20] Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice, [21] I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them; [22] that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep Yahweh’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.” [23] So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.

The Angel of the Lord

[1] And an angel H4397§ of the Lord H3068 came up H5927 from H4480 Gilgal H1537 to H413 Bochim, H1066 and said, H559 I made H5927 you H853 to go up H5927 out of Egypt, H4714 and have brought H935 you H853 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 I sware H7650 unto your fathers; H1 and I said, H559 I will H6565 never H3808 H5769 break H6565 my covenant H1285 with you. H854 [2] And ye H859 shall make H3772 no H3808 league H1285 with the inhabitants H3427 of this H2063 land; H776 ye shall throw down H5422 their altars: H4196 but ye have H8085 not H3808 obeyed H8085 my voice: H6963 why H4100 have ye done H6213 this? H2063 [3] Wherefore I H559 also H1571 said, H559 I will H1644 not H3808 drive H1644 them H853 out H1644 from before you; H6440 but they shall be H1961 as thorns in your sides, H6654 and their gods H430 shall be H1961 a snare H4170 unto you. [4] And it came to pass, H1961 when the angel H4397 of the Lord H3068 spake H1696 H853 these H428 words H1697 unto H413 all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 that the people H5971 lifted up H5375 H853 their voice, H6963 and wept. H1058 [5] And they called H7121 the name H8034 of that H1931 place H4725 Bochim: H1066ⓘ and they sacrificed H2076 there H8033 unto the Lord. H3068 [6] And when Joshua H3091 had let H7971 H853 the people H5971 go, H7971 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went H3212 every man H376 unto his inheritance H5159 to possess H3423 H853 the land. H776 [7] And the people H5971 served H5647 H853 the Lord H3068 all H3605 the days H3117 of Joshua, H3091 and all H3605 the days H3117 of the elders H2205 that H834 outlived H748 H3117 H310 Joshua, H3091§ who H834 had seen H7200 H853 all H3605 the great H1419 works H4639 of the Lord, H3068 that H834 he did H6213 for Israel. H3478 [8] And Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun, H5126 the servant H5650 of the Lord, H3068 died, H4191 being an hundred H3967 and ten H6235 years H8141 old. H1121 [9] And they buried H6912 him H853 in the border H1366 of his inheritance H5159 in Timnath-heres, H8556 in the mount H2022 of Ephraim, H669 on the north side H6828 of the hill H2022 Gaash. H1608 [10] And also H1571 all H3605 that H1931 generation H1755 were gathered H622 unto H413 their fathers: H1 and there arose H6965 another H312 generation H1755 after them, H310 which H834 knew H3045 not H3808 H853 the Lord, H3068 nor yet H1571 H853 the works H4639 which H834 he had done H6213 for Israel. H3478 [11] And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 H853 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the Lord, H3068 and served H5647 H853 Baalim: H1168 [12] and they forsook H5800 H853 the Lord H3068 God H430 of their fathers, H1 which brought H3318 them H853 out H3318 of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 and followed H3212 H310 other H312 gods, H430 of the gods H430 of the people H5971 that H834 were round about them, H5439 and bowed themselves H7812 unto them, and provoked H3707 H853 the Lord H3068 to anger. H3707 [13] And they forsook H5800 H853 the Lord, H3068 and served H5647 Baal H1168 and Ashtaroth. H6252 [14] And the anger H639 of the Lord H3068 was hot H2734 against Israel, H3478 and he delivered them H5414 into the hands H3027 of spoilers H8154 that spoiled H8155 them, H853 and he sold them H4376 into the hands H3027 of their enemies H341 round about, H5439 so that they could H3201 not H3808 any longer H5750 stand H5975 before H6440 their enemies. H341 [15] Whithersoever H3605 H834 they went out, H3318 the hand H3027 of the Lord H3068 was H1961 against them for evil, H7451 as H834 the Lord H3068 had said, H1696 and as H834 the Lord H3068 had sworn H7650 unto them: and they were H3334 greatly H3966 distressed. H3334 [16] Nevertheless the Lord H3068 raised up H6965 judges, H8199 which delivered§ them H3467 out of the hand H3027 of those that spoiled them. H8154 [17] And yet H1571 they would H8085 not H3808 hearken H8085 unto H413 their judges, H8199 but H3588 they went a whoring H2181 after H310 other H312 gods, H430 and bowed themselves H7812 unto them: they turned H5493 quickly H4118 out of H4480 the way H1870 which H834 their fathers H1 walked in, H1980 obeying H8085 the commandments H4687 of the Lord; H3068 but they did H6213 not H3808 so. H3651 [18] And when H3588 the Lord H3068 raised H6965 them up H6965 judges, H8199 then the Lord H3068 was H1961 with H5973 the judge, H8199 and delivered them H3467 out of the hand H3027 of their enemies H341 all H3605 the days H3117 of the judge: H8199 for H3588 it repented H5162 the Lord H3068 because of their groanings H5009 by reason of H6440 them that oppressed them H3905 and vexed them. H1766 [19] And it came to pass, H1961 when the judge H8199 was dead, H4191 that they returned, H7725 and corrupted H7843 themselves§ more than their fathers, H1 in following H3212 H310 other H312 gods H430 to serve them, H5647 and to bow down H7812 unto them; they ceased H5307 not H3808 from their own§ doings, H4611 nor from their stubborn H7186 way. H1870 [20] And the anger H639 of the Lord H3068 was hot H2734 against Israel; H3478 and he said, H559 Because H3282 that H834 this H2088 people H1471 hath transgressed H5674 H853 my covenant H1285 which H834 I commanded H6680 H853 their fathers, H1 and have H8085 not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto my voice; H6963 [21] I H589 also H1571 will H3254 not H3808 henceforth H3254 drive out H3423 any H376 from before them H6440 of H4480 the nations H1471 which H834 Joshua H3091 left H5800 when he died: H4191 [22] that H4616 through them I may prove H5254 H853 Israel, H3478 whether they H1992 will keep H8104 H853 the way H1870 of the Lord H3068 to walk H3212 therein, as H834 their fathers H1 did keep H8104 it, or H518 not. H3808 [23] Therefore the Lord H3068 left H3240§ H853 those H428 nations, H1471 without H1115 driving them out H3423 hastily; H4118 neither H3808 delivered he them H5414 into the hand H3027 of Joshua.
