Israel is Rebuked

2Some time later, the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim and announced to Israel, "I brought you up from Egypt and led you into the land that I promised to your ancestors. I had said to them, 'I'll never breach my covenant with you.H4397H3068H5927H1537H1066H559H5927H4714H935H776H7650H1H559H5769H6565H1285
2As for you, you must not make any treaties with the inhabitants of this land. Instead, tear down their altars.' But you haven't obeyed me. What have you done?H3772H1285H3427H776H5422H4196H8085H6963H6213
3Therefore I'm now saying, 'I won't expel them before you. Instead, they'll remain at your side, and their gods will ensnare you.'"H559H1644H6440H6654H430H4170
4Because the angel of the Lord said these things to all of the Israelites, the people wept out loud,H4397H3068H1696H1697H1121H3478H5971H5375H6963H1058
5which is why they named the place Bochim. And there they sacrificed to the Lord.H7121H8034H4725H1066H2076H3068
6After Joshua had dismissed the people, the Israelites returned to their respective inheritances to take possession of the land.H3091H5971H7971H1121H3478H3212H376H5159H3423H776

The Death of Joshua

7The people served the Lord during the entire lifetime of Joshua as well as the lifetimes of all the elders who outlived Joshua and who had observed all the great deeds that the Lord had done for Israel.H5971H5647H3068H3117H3091H3117H2205H748H3117H310H3091H7200H1419H4639H3068H6213H3478
8But then Nun's son Joshua, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 years.H3091H1121H5126H5650H3068H4191H3967H6235H8141H1121
9They buried him in Timnath-heres, within the boundaries of his inheritance in the mountainous region of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.H6912H1366H5159H8556H2022H669H6828H2022H1608
10After that whole generation had died, another generation grew up after them that was not acquainted with the Lord or with what he had done for Israel.7H1755H622H1H6965H312H1755H310H3045H3068H4639H6213H3478

The Rise of the Judges

11So the Israelites practiced what the Lord considered to be evil by worshiping Canaanite deities.H1121H3478H6213H7451H5869H3068H5647H1168
12They abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They followed other gods from among the gods of the peoples who surrounded them. They bowed down in worship of them, and by doing so angered the Lord.H5800H3068H430H1H3318H776H4714H3212H310H312H430H430H5971H5439H7812H3068H3707
13As a result, they abandoned the Lord by serving both Baal and Ashtaroth.H5800H3068H5647H1168H6252
14So in his burning anger against Israel, the Lord gave them into the domination of marauders who plundered them. The enemies who surrounded the Israelites controlled them, and they were no longer able to withstand their adversaries.H639H3068H2734H3478H5414H3027H8154H8155H4376H3027H341H5439H3201H5750H5975H6440H341
15Wherever they went, the Lord worked against them to bring misfortune, just as the Lord had warned, and just as the Lord had promised them. As a result, they suffered greatly.12H3318H3027H3068H7451H3068H1696H3068H7650H3966H3334
16Then the Lord raised up leaders, who delivered Israel from domination by their marauders.H3068H6965H8199H3467H3027H8154
17But they didn't listen to their leaders, because they were committing spiritual immorality by following other gods and worshiping them. They quickly turned away from the road on which their ancestors had walked in obedience to the commands of the Lord. They didn't follow their example.H8085H8199H2181H310H312H430H7812H5493H4118H1870H1H1980H8085H4687H3068H6213
18As a result, whenever the Lord raised up leaders for them, the Lord remained present with their leader, delivering Israel from the control of their enemies during the lifetime of that leader. The Lord was moved with compassion by their groaning that had been caused by those who were oppressing and persecuting them.H3068H6965H8199H3068H8199H3467H3027H341H3117H8199H5162H3068H6440H5009H3905H1766
19However, after the leader had died, they would relapse to a condition more corrupt than their ancestors, following other gods, serving them, and worshiping them. They would not abandon their activities or their obstinate lifestyles.H8199H4194H7725H7843H1H3212H310H312H430H5647H7812H5307H4611H7186H1870
20In his burning anger against Israel, the Lord said, "Because the people have transgressed my covenant that I commanded their ancestors to keep, and because they haven't obeyed me, I'm also going to stop expelling any of the nations that remained after Joshua died.H639H3068H2734H3478H559H1471H5674H1285H6680H1H8085H6963
22That way, I'll use them to demonstrate whether or not Israel will keep the Lord's lifestyle by walking on that road like their ancestors did."H5254H3478H8104H1870H3068H3212H1H8104
23So the Lord caused those nations to remain and did not expel them quickly. He did not give them into Joshua's control.221H3068H3240H1471H1115H3423H4118H5414H3027H3091
