Judges 2:1-10

1Then the Angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said: “I led you up from Egypt and brought you to the land of which I swore to your fathers; and I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you.

2And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?

3Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you; but they shall be thorns in your side, and their gods shall be a snare to you.’ ”

4So it was, when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voices and wept.

5Then they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there to the Lord.

6And when Joshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.

7So the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord which He had done for Israel.

8Now Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died when he was one hundred and ten years old.

9And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

10When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.
