*
Now the angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim .
And he said , "
I brought you up from Egypt ,
and brought you into the land which I swore to give to your fathers .
I said , `
I will never break my covenant with you ,
*
and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land ;
you shall break down their altars .'
But you have not obeyed my command .
What is this you have done ?
*
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 ."
*
When the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the people of Israel ,
the people lifted up their voices and wept .
*
And they called the name of that place Bochim ;
and they sacrificed there to the LORD .
*
When Joshua dismissed the people ,
the people of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land .
*
And 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 work which the LORD had done for Israel .
*
And Joshua the son of Nun ,
the servant of the LORD ,
died at the age of one hundred and ten years .
*
And they buried him within the bounds of his inheritance in Tim '
nath-he '
res ,
in the hill country of E '
phraim ,
north of the mountain of Ga '
ash .
*
And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers ;
and there arose another generation after them ,
who did not know the LORD or the work which he had done for Israel .
*
And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Ba '
als ;
