And the angel{H4397} of Jehovah{H3068} came up{H5927} from Gilgal{H1537} to Bochim.{H1066} And he said,{H559} I made you to go up{H5927} out of Egypt,{H4714} and have brought{H935} you unto the land{H776} which I sware{H7650} unto your fathers;{H1} and I said,{H559} I will never{H5769} break{H6565} my covenant{H1285} with you:

and ye shall make{H3772} no covenant{H1285} with the inhabitants{H3427} of this land;{H776} ye shall break down{H5422} their altars.{H4196} But ye have not hearkened{H8085} unto my voice:{H6963} why have ye done{H6213} this?

Wherefore I also said,{H559} I will not drive them out{H1644} from before{H6440} you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides,{H6654} and their gods{H430} shall be a snare{H4170} unto you.

And it came to pass, when the angel{H4397} of Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} these words{H1697} unto all the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} that the people{H5971} lifted up{H5375} their voice,{H6963} and wept.{H1058}

And they called{H7121} the name{H8034} of that place{H4725} Bochim:{H1066} and they sacrificed{H2076} there unto Jehovah.{H3068}

Now when Joshua{H3091} had sent the people{H5971} away,{H7971} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} went{H3212} every man{H376} unto his inheritance{H5159} to possess{H3423} the land.{H776}

And the people{H5971} served{H5647} Jehovah{H3068} all the days{H3117} of Joshua,{H3091} and all the days{H3117} of the elders{H2205} that outlived{H3117} Joshua,{H3091} who had seen{H7200} all the great{H1419} work{H4639} of Jehovah{H3068} that he had wrought{H6213} for Israel.{H3478}

And Joshua{H3091} the son{H1121} of Nun,{H5126} the servant{H5650} of Jehovah,{H3068} died,{H4191} being a hundred{H3967} and ten{H6235} years{H8141} old.{H1121}

And they buried{H6912} him in the border{H1366} of his inheritance{H5159} in Timnath-heres,{H8556} in the hill-country{H2022} of Ephraim,{H669} on the north of the mountain{H2022} of Gaash.{H1608}

And also all that generation{H1755} were gathered{H622} unto their fathers:{H1} and there arose{H6965} another{H312} generation{H1755} after{H310} them, that knew{H3045} not Jehovah,{H3068} nor yet the work{H4639} which he had wrought{H6213} for Israel.{H3478}

And the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} and served{H5647} the Baalim;{H1168}

and they forsook{H5800} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of their fathers,{H1} who brought them out{H3318} of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} and followed{H3212} other{H312} gods,{H430} of the gods{H430} of the peoples{H5971} that were round about{H5439} them, and bowed{H7812} themselves down unto them: and they provoked Jehovah{H3068} to anger.{H3707}

And they forsook{H5800} Jehovah,{H3068} and served{H5647} Baal{H1168} and the Ashtaroth.{H6252}

And the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} was kindled{H2734} against Israel,{H3478} and he delivered{H5414} them into the hands{H3027} of spoilers{H8154} that despoiled{H8155} them; and he sold{H4376} them into the hands{H3027} of their enemies{H341} round about,{H5439} so that they could{H3201} not any longer{H5750} stand{H5975} before{H6440} their enemies.{H341}

Whithersoever they went out,{H3318} the hand{H3027} of Jehovah{H3068} was against them for evil,{H7451} as Jehovah{H3068} had spoken,{H1696} and as Jehovah{H3068} had sworn{H7650} unto them: and they were sore{H3966} distressed.{H3334}

And Jehovah{H3068} raised up{H6965} judges,{H8199} who saved{H3467} them out of the hand{H3027} of those that despoiled{H8154} them.

And yet they hearkened{H8085} not unto their judges;{H8199} for they played the harlot{H2181} after{H310} other{H312} gods,{H430} and bowed{H7812} themselves down unto them: they turned{H5493} aside quickly{H4118} out of the way{H1870} wherein their fathers{H1} walked,{H1980} obeying{H8085} the commandments{H4687} of Jehovah;{H3068} [but] they did{H6213} not so.

And when Jehovah{H3068} raised{H6965} them up judges,{H8199} then Jehovah{H3068} was with the judge,{H8199} and saved{H3467} them out of the hand{H3027} of their enemies{H341} all the days{H3117} of the judge:{H8199} for it repented{H5162} Jehovah{H3068} because{H6440} of their groaning{H5009} by reason of them that oppressed{H3905} them and vexed{H1766} them.

But it came to pass, when the judge{H8199} was dead,{H4194} that they turned{H7725} back, and dealt more corruptly{H7843} than their fathers,{H1} in following{H3212} other{H312} gods{H430} to serve{H5647} them, and to bow down{H7812} unto them; they ceased{H5307} not from their doings,{H4611} nor from their stubborn{H7186} way.{H1870}

And the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} was kindled{H2734} against Israel;{H3478} and he said,{H559} Because this nation{H1471} have transgressed{H5674} my covenant{H1285} which I commanded{H6680} their fathers,{H1} and have not hearkened{H8085} unto my voice;{H6963}

I also will not henceforth{H3254} drive out{H3423} any{H376} from before{H6440} them of the nations{H1471} that Joshua{H3091} left{H5800} when he died;{H4191}

that by them I may prove{H5254} Israel,{H3478} whether they will keep{H8104} the way{H1870} of Jehovah{H3068} to walk{H3212} therein, as their fathers{H1} did keep{H8104} it, or not.

So Jehovah{H3068} left{H3240} those nations,{H1471} without{H1115} driving them out{H3423} hastily;{H4118} neither delivered{H5414} he them into the hand{H3027} of Joshua.{H3091}
