And the Angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you; and as for you,

2 a s long as ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; to the contrary, ye shall throw down their altars, but ye have not heard my voice; why have ye done this?

ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not hearkened unto my voice. Why have ye done this?

3 T herefore, 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.

Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

4 A nd when the angel of the LORD spoke these words unto all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

And it came to pass, when the Angel of Jehovah spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice and wept.

6 ¶ For Joshua had let the people go, and the sons of Israel had each gone unto his inheritance to possess the land.

And Joshua dismissed the people, and the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.

7 A nd the people had served the LORD all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua who had seen all the great works of the LORD that he had done with Israel.

And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders whose days were prolonged after Joshua, who had seen all the great works of Jehovah, which he had done for Israel.

8 A nd Joshua, the son of Nun, the slave of the LORD, died, being one hundred and ten years old.

And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, a hundred and ten years old.

9 A nd they buried him within the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres in the mount of Ephraim on the north side of the mount of Gaash.

And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-Heres, in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the mountain of Gaash.

10 A nd also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers, and there arose another generation after them which did not know the LORD nor the work which he had done to Israel.

And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, which knew not Jehovah, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

11 A nd the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baalim.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baals.

12 A nd they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them and provoked the LORD to anger.

And they forsook Jehovah the God of their fathers, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked Jehovah to anger.

13 A nd they forsook the LORD and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about; and they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

15 W herever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said and as the LORD had sworn unto them; and thus they were greatly distressed.

Whithersoever they went out the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had said, and as Jehovah had sworn unto them; and they were greatly distressed.

16 N evertheless, the LORD raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

And Jehovah raised up judges, and they saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

17 A nd yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they fornicated after other gods and bowed themselves unto them; they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers had walked hearing the commandments of the LORD; but they did not do so.

But they did not even hearken to their judges, for they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves to them; they turned quickly out of the way that their fathers had walked in, obeying the commandments of Jehovah; they did not so.

18 A nd when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of that judge; for the LORD repented because of their groanings by reason of those that oppressed them and afflicted them.

And when Jehovah raised them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repented Jehovah because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and crushed them.

19 B ut when the judge was dead, then they would return, and corrupt themselves more than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down unto them; they did not diminish from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

And it came to pass when the judge died, that they turned back and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them: they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

20 A nd the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he said, Because these people transgress my covenant which I commanded their fathers and do not hearken unto my voice;

And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel; and he said, Because this nation hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and hath not hearkened unto my voice,

21 n either will I drive out any longer from before them any of these Gentiles which Joshua left when he died,

I also will not henceforth dispossess from before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died;

22 t hat through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD by walking therein as their fathers kept it, or not.

that through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep, or not.

23 T herefore, the LORD left those Gentiles, without driving them out hastily; neither did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua.

Therefore Jehovah left those nations, without dispossessing them hastily, neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
