  • Judg 2:1-9 : 1 Confrontation and Repentance at Bokim The LORD’s angel went up from Gilgal to Bokim. He said,“I brought you up from Egypt and led you into the land I had solemnly promised to give to your ancestors. I said,‘I will never break my covenant with you, 2 but you must not make an agreement with the people who live in this land. You should tear down the altars where they worship.’ But you have disobeyed me. Why would you do such a thing? 3 At that time I also warned you,‘If you disobey, I will not drive out the Canaanites before you. They will ensnare you and their gods will lure you away.’” 4 When the LORD’s angel finished speaking these words to all the Israelites, the people wept loudly. 5 They named that place Bokim and offered sacrifices to the LORD there. 6 The End of an Era When Joshua dismissed the people, the Israelites went to their allotted portions of territory, intending to take possession of the land. 7 The people worshiped the LORD throughout Joshua’s lifetime and as long as the elderly men who outlived him remained alive.
