An angel of the L<small>ORD</small> came up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, “I brought you up from Egypt and I took you into the land which I had promised on oath to your fathers. And I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you.ב:ב

And you, for your part, must make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you must tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed Me—look what you have done!ב:ג

As the angel of the L<small>ORD</small> spoke these words to all the Israelites, the people broke into weeping.ב:ה

So they named that place Bochim,<sup class="footnote-marker">b</sup><i class="footnote">I.e., “weepers.”</i> and they offered sacrifices there to the L<small>ORD</small>.<br>ב:ו

When Joshua dismissed the people, the Israelites went to their allotted territories and took possession of the land.ב:ז

The people served the L<small>ORD</small> during the lifetime of Joshua and the lifetime of the older people who lived on after Joshua and who had witnessed all the marvelous deeds that the L<small>ORD</small> had wrought for Israel.ב:ח

And all that generation were likewise gathered to their fathers.<br>Another generation arose after them, which had not experienced [the deliverance of] the L<small>ORD</small> or the deeds that He had wrought for Israel.ב:יא

And the Israelites did what was offensive to the L<small>ORD</small>. They worshiped the Baalimב:יב

and forsook the L<small>ORD</small>, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They followed other gods, from among the gods of the peoples around them, and bowed down to them; they provoked the L<small>ORD</small>.ב:יג

Then the L<small>ORD</small> was incensed at Israel, and He handed them over to foes<sup class="footnote-marker">e</sup><i class="footnote">Lit. “plunderers.”</i> who plundered them. He surrendered them to their enemies on all sides, and they could no longer hold their own against their enemies.ב:טו
בְּכֹ֣ל <b>׀</b> אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָצְא֗וּ יַד־יְהֹוָה֙ הָֽיְתָה־בָּ֣ם לְרָעָ֔ה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר֙ דִּבֶּ֣ר יְהֹוָ֔ה וְכַאֲשֶׁ֛ר נִשְׁבַּ֥ע יְהֹוָ֖ה לָהֶ֑ם וַיֵּ֥צֶר לָהֶ֖ם מְאֹֽד׃

In all their campaigns, the hand of the L<small>ORD</small> was against them to their undoing, as the L<small>ORD</small> had declared and as the L<small>ORD</small> had sworn to them; and they were in great distress.ב:טז

Then the L<small>ORD</small> raised up chieftains who delivered them from those who plundered them.ב:יז
וְגַ֤ם אֶל־שֹֽׁפְטֵיהֶם֙ לֹ֣א שָׁמֵ֔עוּ כִּ֣י זָנ֗וּ אַֽחֲרֵי֙ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲו֖וּ לָהֶ֑ם סָ֣רוּ מַהֵ֗ר מִן־הַדֶּ֜רֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֨ר הָלְכ֧וּ אֲבוֹתָ֛ם לִשְׁמֹ֥עַ מִצְוֺת־יְהֹוָ֖ה לֹא־עָ֥שׂוּ כֵֽן׃

17.
But they did not heed their chieftains either; they went astray after other gods and bowed down to them. They were quick to turn aside from the way their fathers had followed in obedience to the commandments of the L<small>ORD</small>; they did not do right.ב:יח
וְכִי־הֵקִ֨ים יְהֹוָ֥ה <small>׀</small> לָהֶם֮ שֹׁפְטִים֒ וְהָיָ֤ה יְהֹוָה֙ עִם־הַשֹּׁפֵ֔ט וְהֽוֹשִׁיעָם֙ מִיַּ֣ד אֹֽיְבֵיהֶ֔ם כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֣י הַשּׁוֹפֵ֑ט כִּֽי־יִנָּחֵ֤ם יְהֹוָה֙ מִנַּֽאֲקָתָ֔ם מִפְּנֵ֥י לֹחֲצֵיהֶ֖ם וְדֹחֲקֵיהֶֽם׃

When the L<small>ORD</small> raised up chieftains for them, the L<small>ORD</small> would be with the chieftain and would save them from their enemies during the chieftain’s lifetime; for the L<small>ORD</small> would be moved to pity by their moanings because of those who oppressed and crushed them.ב:יט
וְהָיָ֣ה <b>׀</b> בְּמ֣וֹת הַשּׁוֹפֵ֗ט יָשֻׁ֙בוּ֙ וְהִשְׁחִ֣יתוּ מֵֽאֲבוֹתָ֔ם לָלֶ֗כֶת אַֽחֲרֵי֙ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים לְעׇבְדָ֖ם וּלְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺ֣ת לָהֶ֑ם לֹ֤א הִפִּ֙ילוּ֙ מִמַּ֣עַלְלֵיהֶ֔ם וּמִדַּרְכָּ֖ם הַקָּשָֽׁה׃

But when the chieftain died, they would again act basely, even more than <sup class="footnote-marker">f</sup><i class="footnote">Lit. “their fathers.”</i>the preceding generation<sup class="endFootnote">-f</sup>—following other gods, worshiping them, and bowing down to them; they omitted none of their practices and stubborn ways.ב:כ

Then the L<small>ORD</small> became incensed against Israel, and He said, “Since that nation has transgressed the covenant that I enjoined upon their fathers and has not obeyed Me,ב:כא

I for My part will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died.”ב:כב

For it was in order to test Israel by them—[to see] whether or not they would faithfully walk in the ways of the L<small>ORD</small>, as their fathers had done—ב:כג
