And an angel⁴³⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ came up⁵⁹²⁷ from Gilgal¹⁵³⁷ to Bochim,¹⁰⁶⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I made you to go up⁵⁹²⁷ out of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and have brought⁹³⁵ you unto the land⁷⁷⁶ which I sware⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto your fathers;¹ and I said,⁵⁵⁹ I will never³⁸⁰⁸ break⁶⁵⁶⁵ my covenant¹²⁸⁵ with you.

And ye shall make³⁷⁷² no league¹²⁸⁵ with the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of this land;⁷⁷⁶ ye shall throw down⁵⁴²² their altars:⁴¹⁹⁶ but ye have not obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice:⁶⁹⁶³ why have ye done⁶²¹³ this?

Wherefore I also said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not drive them out¹⁶⁴⁴ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides,⁶⁶⁵⁴ and their mighty ones⁴³⁰ shall be a snare⁴¹⁷⁰ unto you.

And it came to pass, when the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ these words¹⁶⁹⁷ unto all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that the people⁵⁹⁷¹ lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and wept.¹⁰⁵⁸

And they called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that place⁴⁷²⁵ Bochim:¹⁰⁶⁶ and they sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ there unto Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

And when Joshua³⁰⁹¹ had let the people⁵⁹⁷¹ go,⁷⁹⁷¹ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went³²¹² every man³⁷⁶ unto his inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ to possess³⁴²³ the land.⁷⁷⁶

And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ all the days³¹¹⁷ of Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ and all the days³¹¹⁷ of the elders²²⁰⁵ that outlived⁷⁴⁸ Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ who had seen⁷²⁰⁰ all the great¹⁴¹⁹ works⁴⁶³⁹ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ that he did⁶²¹³ for Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun,⁵¹²⁶ the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ died,⁴¹⁹¹ being an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and ten⁶²³⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ old.¹¹²¹

And they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the border¹³⁶⁶ of his inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ in Timnathheres,⁸⁵⁵⁶ in the mount²⁰²² of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ on the north⁶⁸²⁸ side of the hill²⁰²² Gaash.¹⁶⁰⁸

And also all that generation¹⁷⁵⁵ were gathered⁶²² unto their fathers:¹ and there arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ another³¹² generation¹⁷⁵⁵ after³¹⁰ them, which knew³⁰⁴⁵ not Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ nor yet the works⁴⁶³⁹ which he had done⁶²¹³ for Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Baalim:¹¹⁶⁸

And they forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ which brought them out³³¹⁸ of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and followed³²¹² other³¹² mighty ones,⁴³⁰ of the mighty ones⁴³⁰ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were round about⁵⁴³⁹ them, and bowed⁷⁸¹² themselves unto them, and provoked Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ to anger.³⁷⁰⁷

And they forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Baal¹¹⁶⁸ and Ashtaroth.⁶²⁵²

And the anger⁶³⁹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was hot²⁷³⁴ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and he delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hands³⁰²⁷ of spoilers⁸¹⁵⁴ that spoiled⁸¹⁵⁵ them, and he sold⁴³⁷⁶ them into the hands³⁰²⁷ of their enemies³⁴¹ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ so that they could³²⁰¹ not any longer⁵⁷⁵⁰ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies.³⁴¹

Whithersoever they went out,³³¹⁸ the hand³⁰²⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was against them for evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ had said,¹⁶⁹⁶ and as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ had sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto them: and they were greatly³⁹⁶⁶ distressed.³³³⁴

Nevertheless Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ raised up⁶⁹⁶⁵ judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ which delivered³⁴⁶⁷ them out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of those that spoiled⁸¹⁵⁴ them.

And yet they would not hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto their judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ but they went a whoring²¹⁸¹ after³¹⁰ other³¹² mighty ones,⁴³⁰ and bowed⁷⁸¹² themselves unto them: they turned⁵⁴⁹³ quickly⁴¹¹⁸ out of the way¹⁸⁷⁰ which their fathers¹ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in, obeying⁸⁰⁸⁵ the commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ of Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ but they did⁶²¹³ not so.

And when Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ raised them up⁶⁹⁶⁵ judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ then Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was with the judge,⁸¹⁹⁹ and delivered³⁴⁶⁷ them out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies³⁴¹ all the days³¹¹⁷ of the judge:⁸¹⁹⁹ for it repented⁵¹⁶² Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ because⁶⁴⁴⁰ of their groanings⁵⁰⁰⁹ by reason of them that oppressed³⁹⁰⁵ them and vexed¹⁷⁶⁶ them.

And it came to pass, when the judge⁸¹⁹⁹ was dead,⁴¹⁹⁴ that they returned,⁷⁷²⁵ and corrupted⁷⁸⁴³ themselves more than their fathers,¹ in following³²¹² other³¹² mighty ones⁴³⁰ to serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ them, and to bow down⁷⁸¹² unto them; they ceased⁵³⁰⁷ not from their own doings,⁴⁶¹¹ nor from their stubborn⁷¹⁸⁶ way.¹⁸⁷⁰

And the anger⁶³⁹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was hot²⁷³⁴ against Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Because that this people¹⁴⁷¹ hath transgressed⁵⁶⁷⁴ my covenant¹²⁸⁵ which I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ their fathers,¹ and have not hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto my voice;⁶⁹⁶³

I also will not henceforth³²⁵⁴ drive out³⁴²³ any³⁷⁶ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them of the nations¹⁴⁷¹ which Joshua³⁰⁹¹ left⁵⁸⁰⁰ when he died:⁴¹⁹¹

That through them I may prove⁵²⁵⁴ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whether they will keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ to walk³²¹² therein, as their fathers¹ did keep⁸¹⁰⁴ it, or not.

Therefore Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ left³²⁴⁰ those nations,¹⁴⁷¹ without¹¹¹⁵ driving them out³⁴²³ hastily;⁴¹¹⁸ neither delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ he them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Joshua.³⁰⁹¹
