1 And an angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 came up 5927 from Gilgal 1537 to Bochim 1066, and said 559, I made you to go up 5927 out of Egypt 4714, and have brought 935 you unto the land 776 which I sware 7650 unto your fathers 1; and I said 559, I will never 5769 break 6565 my covenant 1285 with you.
2 And ye shall make 3772 no league 1285 with the inhabitants 3427 of this land 776; ye shall throw down 5422 their altars 4196: but ye have not obeyed 8085 my voice 6963: why have ye done 6213 this?
3 Wherefore I also said 559, I will not drive them out 1644 from before 6440 you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides 6654, and their gods 430 shall be a snare 4170 unto you.
4 And it came to pass, when the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 spake 1696 these words 1697 unto all the children 1121 of Israel 3478, that the people 5971 lifted up 5375 their voice 6963, and wept 1058.
5 And they called 7121 the name 8034 of that place 4725 Bochim 1066: and they sacrificed 2076 there unto the LORD 3068.
6 And when Joshua 3091 had let the people 5971 go 7971, the children 1121 of Israel 3478 went 3212 every man 376 unto his inheritance 5159 to possess 3423 the land 776.
7 And the people 5971 served 5647 the LORD 3068 all the days 3117 of Joshua 3091, and all the days 3117 of the elders 2205 that outlived 748 3117 310 Joshua 3091, who had seen 7200 all the great 1419 works 4639 of the LORD 3068, that he did 6213 for Israel 3478.
8 And Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068, died 4191, being an hundred 3967 and ten 6235 years 8141 old 1121.
9 And they buried 6912 him in the border 1366 of his inheritance 5159 in Timnathheres 8556, in the mount 2022 of Ephraim 669, on the north side 6828 of the hill 2022 Gaash 1608.
10 And also all that generation 1755 were gathered 622 unto their fathers 1: and there arose 6965 another 312 generation 1755 after 310 them, which knew 3045 not the LORD 3068, nor yet the works 4639 which he had done 6213 for Israel 3478.
11 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, and served 5647 Baalim 1168:
12 And they forsook 5800 the LORD 3068 God 430 of their fathers 1, which brought them out 3318 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and followed 3212 310 other 312 gods 430, of the gods 430 of the people 5971 that were round about 5439 them, and bowed 7812 themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD 3068 to anger 3707.
13 And they forsook 5800 the LORD 3068, and served 5647 Baal 1168 and Ashtaroth 6252.
14 And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was hot 2734 against Israel 3478, and he delivered 5414 them into the hands 3027 of spoilers 8154 that spoiled 8155 them, and he sold 4376 them into the hands 3027 of their enemies 341 round about 5439, so that they could 3201 not any longer 5750 stand 5975 before 6440 their enemies 341.
15 Whithersoever they went out 3318, the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was against them for evil 7451, as the LORD 3068 had said 1696, and as the LORD 3068 had sworn 7650 unto them: and they were greatly 3966 distressed 3334.
16 Nevertheless the LORD 3068 raised up 6965 judges 8199, which delivered 3467 them out of the hand 3027 of those that spoiled 8154 them.
17 And yet they would not hearken 8085 unto their judges 8199, but they went a whoring 2181 after 310 other 312 gods 430, and bowed 7812 themselves unto them: they turned 5493 quickly 4118 out of the way 1870 which their fathers 1 walked in 1980, obeying 8085 the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068; but they did 6213 not so.
18 And when the LORD 3068 raised 6965 them up judges 8199, then the LORD 3068 was with the judge 8199, and delivered 3467 them out of the hand 3027 of their enemies 341 all the days 3117 of the judge 8199: for it repented 5162 the LORD 3068 because 6440 of their groanings 5009 by reason of them that oppressed 3905 them and vexed 1766 them.
19 And it came to pass, when the judge 8199 was dead 4194, that they returned 7725, and corrupted 7843 themselves more than their fathers 1, in following 3212 310 other 312 gods 430 to serve 5647 them, and to bow down 7812 unto them; they ceased 5307 not from their own doings 4611, nor from their stubborn 7186 way 1870.
20 And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was hot 2734 against Israel 3478; and he said 559, Because that this people 1471 hath transgressed 5674 my covenant 1285 which I commanded 6680 their fathers 1, and have not hearkened 8085 unto my voice 6963;
21 I also will not henceforth 3254 drive out 3423 any 376 from before 6440 them of the nations 1471 which Joshua 3091 left 5800 when he died 4191:
22 That through them I may prove 5254 Israel 3478, whether they will keep 8104 the way 1870 of the LORD 3068 to walk 3212 therein, as their fathers 1 did keep 8104 it, or not.
23 Therefore the LORD 3068 left 3240 those nations 1471, without 1115 driving them out 3423 hastily 4118; neither delivered 5414 he them into the hand 3027 of Joshua 3091.
