An angel<sup class="footnote-marker">a</sup><i class="footnote"><b>An angel </b>Lit. “a messenger.”</i> of G<small>OD</small> came up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, “I brought you up from Egypt and I took you into the land that I had promised on oath to your fathers.<sup class="footnote-marker">b</sup><i class="footnote"><b>fathers </b>See note at Josh. 1.6.</i> 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 G<small>OD</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">d</sup><i class="footnote"><b>Bochim </b>I.e., “weepers.”</i> and they offered sacrifices there to G<small>OD</small>.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 G<small>OD</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 G<small>OD</small> had wrought for Israel.ב:ח

Joshua son of Nun, the servant of G<small>OD</small>, died at the age of one hundred and ten years,ב:ט

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

and forsook the E<small>TERNAL</small>, the God of their ancestors, 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 G<small>OD</small>.ב:יג

Having become incensed at Israel, G<small>OD</small> then handed them over to foes<sup class="footnote-marker">h</sup><i class="footnote"><b>foes </b>Lit. “plunderers.”</i> who plundered them, surrendering them to their enemies on all sides; 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, G<small>OD</small>’s hand was against them to their undoing—as G<small>OD</small> had declared and as G<small>OD</small> had sworn to them—and they were in great distress.ב:טז
וַיָּ֥קֶם יְהֹוָ֖ה שֹׁפְטִ֑ים וַיּ֣וֹשִׁיע֔וּם מִיַּ֖ד שֹׁסֵיהֶֽם׃
רש"י

16.
Then G<small>OD</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׃
רש"י
רד''ק
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 ancestors had followed in obedience to G<small>OD</small>’s commandments; 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׃

18.
When G<small>OD</small> raised up chieftains for them, G<small>OD</small> would be with that chieftain—and would save them from their enemies during that chieftain’s lifetime; for G<small>OD</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 the preceding generation<sup class="footnote-marker">i</sup><i class="footnote"><b>the preceding generation </b>Lit. “their ancestors.”</i>—following other gods, worshiping them, and bowing down to them; they omitted none of their practices and stubborn ways.ב:כ
וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֥ף יְהֹוָ֖ה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיֹּ֗אמֶר יַ֩עַן֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָבְר֜וּ הַגּ֣וֹי הַזֶּ֗ה אֶת־בְּרִיתִי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר צִוִּ֣יתִי אֶת־אֲבוֹתָ֔ם וְלֹ֥א שָׁמְע֖וּ לְקוֹלִֽי׃

Then G<small>OD</small>, having become incensed against Israel, said, “Since that nation has transgressed the covenant that I enjoined upon their ancestors 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 they would faithfully walk in G<small>OD</small>’s ways, as their ancestors had done—ב:כג
