001:036 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. 002:001 The angel of Yahweh came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you: 002:002 and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars. But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this? 002:003 Therefore 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 to you. 002:004 It happened, when the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. 002:005 They called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to Yahweh. 002:006 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land. 002:007 The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel. 002:008 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old. 002:009 They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash. 002:010 Also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, who didn't know Yahweh, nor yet the work which he had worked for Israel. 002:011 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and served the Baals; 002:012 and they forsook Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were round about them, and bowed themselves down to them: and they provoked Yahweh to anger. 002:013 They forsook Yahweh, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth. 002:014 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers who despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. 002:015 Wherever they went out, the hand of Yahweh was against them for evil, as Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them: and they were sore distressed. 002:016 Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who despoiled them. 002:017 Yet they didn't listen to their judges; for they played the prostitute after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them: they turned aside quickly out of the way in which their
