Now the angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to 1Bochim. And he said, "I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to give to your fathers. I said, 2'I will never break my covenant with you,
2
3and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; 4you shall break down their altars.' But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done?
3
So now I say, 5I will not drive them out before you, but they shall become 6thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you."
4
As soon as the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.
5
And they called the name of that place Bochim. And they sacrificed there to the LORD.
