| 2:1 | And an angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> came up <05927> (8799) from Gilgal <01537> to Bochim <01066>, and said <0559> (8799), I made you to go up <05927> (8686) out of Egypt <04714>, and have brought <0935> (8686) you unto the land <0776> which I sware <07650> (8738) unto your fathers <01>; and I said <0559> (8799), I will never <05769> break <06565> (8686) my covenant <01285> with you. {angel: or, messenger} |
| 2:2 | And ye shall make <03772> (8799) no league <01285> with the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of this land <0776>; ye shall throw down <05422> (8799) their altars <04196>: but ye have not obeyed <08085> (8804) my voice <06963>: why have ye done <06213> (8804) this? |
| 2:3 | Wherefore I also said <0559> (8804), I will not drive them out <01644> (8762) from before <06440> you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides <06654>, and their gods <0430> shall be a snare <04170> unto you. |
| 2:4 | And it came to pass, when the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8763) these words <01697> unto all the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, that the people <05971> lifted up <05375> (8799) their voice <06963>, and wept <01058> (8799). |
| 2:5 | And they called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> of that place <04725> Bochim <01066>: and they sacrificed <02076> (8799) there unto the LORD <03068>. {Bochim: that is, Weepers} |
| 2:6 | And when Joshua <03091> had let the people <05971> go <07971> (8762), the children <01121> of Israel <03478> went <03212> (8799) every man <0376> unto his inheritance <05159> to possess <03423> (8800) the land <0776>. |
| 2:7 | And the people <05971> served <05647> (8799) the LORD <03068> all the days <03117> of Joshua <03091>, and all the days <03117> of the elders <02205> that outlived <0748> (8689) <03117> <0310> Joshua <03091>, who had seen <07200> (8804) all the great <01419> works <04639> of the LORD <03068>, that he did <06213> (8804) for Israel <03478>. {outlived: Heb. prolonged days after} |
| 2:8 | And Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126>, the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068>, died <04191> (8799), [being] an hundred <03967> and ten <06235> years <08141> old <01121>. |
| 2:9 | And they buried <06912> (8799) him in the border <01366> of his inheritance <05159> in Timnathheres <08556>, in the mount <02022> of Ephraim <0669>, on the north side <06828> of the hill <02022> Gaash <01608>. {Timnathhares: also called, Timnathserah} |
| 2:10 | And also all that generation <01755> were gathered <0622> (8738) unto their fathers <01>: and there arose <06965> (8799) another <0312> generation <01755> after <0310> them, which knew <03045> (8804) not the LORD <03068>, nor yet the works <04639> which he had done <06213> (8804) for Israel <03478>. |
| 2:11 | And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> (8799) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and served <05647> (8799) Baalim <01168>: |
| 2:12 | And they forsook <05800> (8799) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>, which brought them out <03318> (8688) of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and followed <03212> (8799) <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>, of the gods <0430> of the people <05971> that [were] round about <05439> them, and bowed <07812> (8691) themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD <03068> to anger <03707> (8686). |
| 2:13 | And they forsook <05800> (8799) the LORD <03068>, and served <05647> (8799) Baal <01168> and Ashtaroth <06252>. |
| 2:14 | And the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> was hot <02734> (8799) against Israel <03478>, and he delivered <05414> (8799) them into the hands <03027> of spoilers <08154> (8802) that spoiled <08155> (8799) them, and he sold <04376> (8799) them into the hands <03027> of their enemies <0341> (8802) round about <05439>, so that they could <03201> (8804) not any longer <05750> stand <05975> (8800) before <06440> their enemies <0341> (8802). |
| 2:15 | Whithersoever they went out <03318> (8804), the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was against them for evil <07451>, as the LORD <03068> had said <01696> (8765), and as the LORD <03068> had sworn <07650> (8738) unto them: and they were greatly <03966> distressed <03334> (8799). |
| 2:16 | Nevertheless the LORD <03068> raised up <06965> (8686) judges <08199> (8802), which delivered <03467> (8686) them out of the hand <03027> of those that spoiled <08154> (8802) them. {delivered: Heb. saved} |
| 2:17 | And yet they would not hearken <08085> (8804) unto their judges <08199> (8802), but they went a whoring <02181> (8804) after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>, and bowed <07812> (8691) themselves unto them: they turned <05493> (8804) quickly <04118> out of the way <01870> which their fathers <01> walked in <01980> (8804), obeying <08085> (8800) the commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068>; [but] they did <06213> (8804) not so. |
| 2:18 | And when the LORD <03068> raised <06965> (8689) them up judges <08199> (8802), then the LORD <03068> was with the judge <08199> (8802), and delivered <03467> (8689) them out of the hand <03027> of their enemies <0341> (8802) all the days <03117> of the judge <08199> (8802): for it repented <05162> (8735) the LORD <03068> because <06440> of their groanings <05009> by reason of them that oppressed <03905> (8801) them and vexed <01766> (8802) them. |
| 2:19 | And it came to pass, when the judge <08199> (8802) was dead <04194>, [that] they returned <07725> (8799), and corrupted <07843> (8689) [themselves] more than their fathers <01>, in following <03212> (8800) <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> to serve <05647> (8800) them, and to bow down <07812> (8692) unto them; they ceased <05307> (8689) not from their own doings <04611>, nor from their stubborn <07186> way <01870>. {corrupted...: or, were corrupt} {ceased...: Heb. let nothing fall of their} |
| 2:20 | And the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> was hot <02734> (8799) against Israel <03478>; and he said <0559> (8799), Because that this people <01471> hath transgressed <05674> (8804) my covenant <01285> which I commanded <06680> (8765) their fathers <01>, and have not hearkened <08085> (8804) unto my voice <06963>; |
| 2:21 | I also will not henceforth <03254> (8686) drive out <03423> (8687) any <0376> from before <06440> them of the nations <01471> which Joshua <03091> left <05800> (8804) when he died <04191> (8799): |
| 2:22 | That through them I may prove <05254> (8763) Israel <03478>, whether they will keep <08104> (8802) the way <01870> of the LORD <03068> to walk <03212> (8800) therein, as their fathers <01> did keep <08104> (8804) [it], or not. |
| 2:23 | Therefore the LORD <03068> left <03240> (8686) those nations <01471>, without <01115> driving them out <03423> (8687) hastily <04118>; neither delivered <05414> (8804) he them into the hand <03027> of Joshua <03091>. {left: or, suffered} |
