| [1]And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the place of weeping, and to Baethel, and to the house of Israel, and said to them, Thus says the Lord, I brought you up out of Egypt, and I brought you into the land which I sware to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant that I have made with you. |
[1]And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I had sworn unto your fathers, and said, I will never break my covenant with you. |
| [2]And ye shall make no covenant with them that dwell in this land, neither shall ye worship their gods; but ye shall destroy their graven images, ye shall pull down their altars: but ye hearkened not to my voice, for ye did these things. |
[2]Ye also shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land, but shall break down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice. Why have ye done this? |
| [3]And I said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be for a distress to you, and their gods shall be to you for an offence. |
[3]Wherefore, I said also, I will not cast them out before you, but they shall be as thorns unto your sides, and their gods shall be your destruction. |
| [4]And it came to pass when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. |
[4]And when the angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the children of Israel, the people lift up their voice, and wept. |
| [5]And they named the name of that place Weepings; and they sacrificed there to the Lord. |
[5]Therefore they called the name of that place, Bochim, and offered sacrifices there unto the Lord. |
| [6]And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his inheritance, to inherit the land. |
[6]Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man into his inheritance, to possess the land. |
| [7]And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days with Joshua, as many as knew all the great work of the Lord, what things he had wrought in Israel. |
[7]And the people had served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, which had seen all the great works of the Lord that he did for Israel. |
| [8]And Joshua the son of Naue, the servant of the Lord, died, a hundred and ten years old. |
[8]But Joshua the son of Nun the servant of the Lord died, when he was an hundred and ten years old: |
| [9]And they buried him in the border of his inheritance, in Thamnathares, in mount Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaas. |
[9]And they buried him in the coasts of his inheritance, in Timnath-heres in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaash. |
| [10]And all that generation were laid to their fathers: and another generation rose up after them, who knew not the Lord, nor yet the work which he wrought in Israel. |
[10]And so all that generation was gathered unto their fathers, and another generation arose after them, which neither knew the Lord, nor yet the works, which he had done for Israel. |
| [11]And the children of Israel wrought evil before the Lord, and served Baalim. |
[11]Then the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, |
| [12]And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and walked after other gods, of the gods of the nations round about them; and they worshipped them. |
[12]And forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, even the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger. |
| [13]And they provoked the Lord, and forsook him, and served Baal and the Astartes. |
[13]So they forsook the Lord, and served Baal, and Ashtaroth. |
| [14]And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and he gave them into the hands of the spoilers, and they spoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, and they could not any longer resist their enemies, |
[14]And the wrath of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers, that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies. |
| [15]among whomsoever they went; and the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord spoke, and as the Lord sware to them; and he greatly afflicted them. |
[15]Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was sore against them, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: so he punished them sore. |
| [16]And the Lord raised up judges, and the Lord save them out of the hands of them that spoiled them: and yet they hearkened not to the judges, |
[16]Notwithstanding, the Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hands of their oppressors. |
| [17]for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them; and they turned quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked to hearken to the words of the Lord; they did not so. |
[17]But yet they would not obey their judges: for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshiped them, and turned quickly out of the way, wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the Lord: they did not so. |
| [18]And because the Lord raised them up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them. |
[18]And when the Lord had raised them up judges, the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge (for the Lord had compassion on their groanings, because of them that oppressed them and tormented them) |
| [19]And it came to pass when the judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted themselves worse than their fathers to go after other gods to serve them an to worship them: they abandoned not their devices nor their stubborn ways. |
[19]Yet when the judge was dead, they returned, and did worse than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them and worship them: they ceased not from their own inventions, nor from their rebellious way. |
| [20]And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and said, Forasmuch as this nation has forsaken my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not hearkened to my voice, |
[20]Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he said, Because this people hath transgressed my covenant, which I commanded their fathers, and hath not obeyed my voice, |
| [21]therefore I will not any more cast out a man of the nations before their face, which Joshua the son of Naue left in the land. And the Lord left them, |
[21]Therefore will I no more cast out before them any of the nations, which Joshua left when he died, |
| [22]to prove Israel with them, whether they would keep the way of the Lord, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or no. |
[22]That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not. |
| [23]So the Lord will leave these nations, so as not to cast them out suddenly; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua. |
[23]So the Lord left those nations, and drove them not out immediately, neither delivered them into the hand of Joshua. |
