Israel's Disobedience
1
Now the angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, "I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you into the land that I had promised to your ancestors. I said, "I will never break my covenant with you.
2
For your part, do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land; tear down their altars.' But you have not obeyed my command. See what you have done!
3
So now I say, I will not drive them out before you; but they shall become adversaries to you, and their gods shall be a snare to you."
4
When the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the Israelites, the people lifted up their voices and wept.
5
So they named that place Bochim, and there they sacrificed to the Lord.
