The Angel of the Lord at Bochim

2The angel of the LORD went from Gilgal to Bochim and said to the Israelites, "I took you out of Egypt and brought you to the land that I promised to your ancestors. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you.H4397H3068H5927H1537H1066H559H5927H4714H935H776H7650H1H559H5769H6565H1285
2You must not make any covenant with the people who live in this land. You must tear down their altars.' But you have not done what I told you. You have done just the opposite!H3772H1285H3427H776H5422H4196H8085H6963H6213
3So I tell you now that I will not drive these people out as you advance. They will be your enemies, and you will be trapped by the worship of their gods."H559H1644H6440H6654H430H4170
4When the angel had said this, all the people of Israel began to cry,H4397H3068H1696H1697H1121H3478H5971H5375H6963H1058
5and that is why the place is called Bochim. There they offered sacrifices to the LORD.H7121H8034H4725H1066H2076H3068

The Death of Joshua

6Joshua sent the people of Israel on their way, and each man went to take possession of his own share of the land.H3091H5971H7971H1121H3478H3212H376H5159H3423H776
7As long as Joshua lived, the people of Israel served the LORD, and even after his death they continued to do so as long as the leaders were alive who had seen for themselves all the great things that the LORD had done for Israel.H5971H5647H3068H3117H3091H3117H2205H748H3117H310H3091H7200H1419H4639H3068H6213H3478
8The LORD's servant Joshua son of Nun died at the age of a hundred and ten.H3091H1121H5126H5650H3068H4191H3967H6235H8141H1121
9He was buried in his own part of the land at Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.H6912H1366H5159H8556H2022H669H6828H2022H1608
10That whole generation also died, and the next generation forgot the LORD and what he had done for Israel.H1755H622H1H6965H312H1755H310H3045H3068H4639H6213H3478

Israel Stops Worshiping the Lord

11Then the people of Israel sinned against the LORD and began to serve the Baals.H1121H3478H6213H7451H5869H3068H5647H1168
12They stopped worshiping the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the God who had brought them out of Egypt, and they began to worship other gods, the gods of the peoples around them. They bowed down to them and made the LORD angry.H5800H3068H430H1H3318H776H4714H3212H310H312H430H430H5971H5439H7812H3068H3707
13They stopped worshiping the LORD and served the Baals and the Astartes.H5800H3068H5647H1168H6252
14And so the LORD became furious with Israel and let raiders attack and rob them. He let the enemies all around overpower them, and the Israelites could no longer protect themselves.H639H3068H2734H3478H5414H3027H8154H8155H4376H3027H341H5439H3201H5750H5975H6440H341
15Every time they would go into battle, the LORD was against them, just as he had said he would be. They were in great distress.H3318H3027H3068H7451H3068H1696H3068H7650H3966H3334
16Then the LORD gave the Israelites leaders who saved them from the raiders.H3068H6965H8199H3467H3027H8154
17But the Israelites paid no attention to their leaders. Israel was unfaithful to the LORD and worshiped other gods. Their fathers had obeyed the LORD's commands, but this new generation soon stopped doing so.H8085H8199H2181H310H312H430H7812H5493H4118H1870H1H1980H8085H4687H3068H6213
18Whenever the LORD gave Israel a leader, the LORD would help that leader and would save the people from their enemies as long as that leader lived. The LORD would have mercy on them because they groaned under their suffering and oppression.H3068H6965H8199H3068H8199H3467H3027H341H3117H8199H5162H3068H6440H5009H3905H1766
19But when the leader died, the people would return to the old ways and behave worse than the previous generation. They would serve and worship other gods, and stubbornly continue their own evil ways.H8199H4194H7725H7843H1H3212H310H312H430H5647H7812H5307H4611H7186H1870
20Then the LORD would become furious with Israel and say, "This nation has broken the covenant that I commanded their ancestors to keep. Because they have not obeyed me,H639H3068H2734H3478H559H1471H5674H1285H6680H1H8085H6963
21I will no longer drive out any of the nations that were still in the land when Joshua died.H3254H3423H376H6440H1471H3091H5800H4191
22I will use them to find out whether or not these Israelites will follow my ways, as their ancestors did."H5254H3478H8104H1870H3068H3212H1H8104
23So the LORD allowed these nations to remain in the land; he did not give Joshua victory over them, nor did he drive them out soon after Joshua's death.H3068H3240H1471H1115H3423H4118H5414H3027H3091
