Judges 2:1-6

Judges 2:1-6

[1] And an angel  of the LORD  came up  from Gilgal  to Bochim,  and said,  I made you to go up  out of Egypt,  and have brought  you unto the land  which I sware  unto your fathers;  and I said,  I will never  break  my covenant  with you. [2] And ye shall make  no league  with the inhabitants  of this land;  ye shall throw down  their altars:  but ye have not obeyed  my voice:  why have ye done  [3] Wherefore I also said,  I will not drive them out  from before  you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides,  and their gods  shall be a snare  unto you. [4] And it came to pass, when the angel  of the LORD  spake  these words  unto all the children  of Israel,  that the people  lifted up  their voice,  and wept.  [5] And they called  the name  of that place  Bochim:  and they sacrificed  there unto the LORD.  [6] And when Joshua  had let the people  go,  the children  of Israel  every man  unto his inheritance  to possess  the land.
