Judges 2:1-5 - Israel Disobeys Yahweh

¹ The angel of Yahweh came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, "I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you: ² and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this? ³ Therefore 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 to you." ⁴ It happened, when the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. ⁵ They called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to Yahweh.
