Israel Rebuked 1 Now 1the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to …
Israel Rebuked
1 Now 1the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to 2Bochim. And he said, "3I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, '4I will never * break My covenant with you,
2
and as for you, 5you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; 6you shall tear down their altars.' But you have not obeyed * Me; what is this you have done?
3
"Therefore I also said, '7I will not drive them out before * you; but they will become 8as 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 Bochim; and there they sacrificed to the LORD.
Joshua Dies
6 9When Joshua had dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went each to his inheritance to possess the land.
7
The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who survived * * Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD which He had done for Israel.
8
Then Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
9
And they buried him in the territory of 10his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
10
All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who 11did not know the LORD, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel.
Israel Serves Baals
11 Then the sons of Israel did 12evil in the sight of the LORD and served the 13Baals,
12
and 14they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed * other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; thus they provoked the LORD to anger.
13
So they forsook the LORD and 15served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
14
16The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and 17He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.
15
Wherever * they went, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken and 18as the LORD had sworn to them, so that they were severely distressed.
16
19Then the LORD raised up judges who delivered them from the hands of those who plundered them.
17
Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly from the way 20in which their fathers had walked in obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not do as their fathers.
18
When the LORD raised up judges for them, 21the LORD was with the judge and delivered them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was 22moved to pity by their groaning because * of those who oppressed and afflicted them.
19
But it came about when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers, in following * other gods to serve them and bow down to them; they did not abandon their practices or their stubborn ways.
20
23So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He said, "Because * this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers and has not listened to My voice,
21
24I also will no longer drive out before * them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died,
22
in order to 25test Israel by them, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it as their fathers did, or not."
23
So the LORD allowed those nations to remain, not driving them out quickly; and He did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
