Judges 2

1 ♥ 📝 A nd the angel^H4397 of Jehovah^H3068 came up^H5927 from Gilgal^H1537 to Bochim.^H1066 And he said,^H559 I made you to go up^H5927 out of Egypt,^H4714 and have brought^H935 you unto the land^H776 which I sware^H7650 unto your fathers;^H1 and I said,^H559 I will never^H5769 break^H6565 my covenant^H1285 with you:

2 ♥ 📝 and ye shall make^H3772 no covenant^H1285 with the inhabitants^H3427 of this land;^H776 ye shall break down^H5422 their altars.^H4196 But ye have not hearkened^H8085 unto my voice:^H6963 why have ye done^H6213 this?

3 ♥ 📝 Wherefore I also said,^H559 I will not drive them out^H1644 from before^H6440 you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides,^H6654 and their gods^H430 shall be a snare^H4170 unto you.

4 ♥ 📝 And it came to pass, when the angel^H4397 of Jehovah^H3068 spake^H1696 these words^H1697 unto all the children^H1121 of Israel,^H3478 that the people^H5971 lifted up^H5375 their voice,^H6963 and wept.^H1058

5 ♥ 📝 And they called^H7121 the name^H8034 of that place^H4725 Bochim:^H1066 and they sacrificed^H2076 there unto Jehovah.^H3068

6 ♥ 📝 Now when Joshua^H3091 had sent the people^H5971 away,^H7971 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 went^H3212 every man^H376 unto his inheritance^H5159 to possess^H3423 the land.^H776

7 ♥ 📝 And the people^H5971 served^H5647 Jehovah^H3068 all the days^H3117 of Joshua,^H3091 and all the days^H3117 of the elders^H2205 that outlived^H3117 Joshua,^H3091 who had seen^H7200 all the great^H1419 work^H4639 of Jehovah^H3068 that he had wrought^H6213 for Israel.^H3478

8 ♥ 📝 And Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun,^H5126 the servant^H5650 of Jehovah,^H3068 died,^H4191 being a hundred^H3967 and ten^H6235 years^H8141 old.^H1121

9 ♥ 📝 And they buried^H6912 him in the border^H1366 of his inheritance^H5159 in Timnath-heres,^H8556 in the hill-country^H2022 of Ephraim,^H669 on the north of the mountain^H2022 of Gaash.^H1608

10 ♥ 📝 And also all that generation^H1755 were gathered^H622 unto their fathers:^H1 and there arose^H6965 another^H312 generation^H1755 after^H310 them, that knew^H3045 not Jehovah,^H3068 nor yet the work^H4639 which he had wrought^H6213 for Israel.^H3478

11 ♥ 📝 And the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 did^H6213 that which was evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of Jehovah,^H3068 and served^H5647 the Baalim;^H1168

12 ♥ 📝 and they forsook^H5800 Jehovah,^H3068 the God^H430 of their fathers,^H1 who brought them out^H3318 of the land^H776 of Egypt,^H4714 and followed^H3212 other^H312 gods,^H430 of the gods^H430 of the peoples^H5971 that were round about^H5439 them, and bowed^H7812 themselves down unto them: and they provoked Jehovah^H3068 to anger.^H3707

13 ♥ 📝 And they forsook^H5800 Jehovah,^H3068 and served^H5647 Baal^H1168 and the Ashtaroth.^H6252

14 ♥ 📝 And the anger^H639 of Jehovah^H3068 was kindled^H2734 against Israel,^H3478 and he delivered^H5414 them into the hands^H3027 of spoilers^H8154 that despoiled^H8155 them; and he sold^H4376 them into the hands^H3027 of their enemies^H341 round about,^H5439 so that they could^H3201 not any longer^H5750 stand^H5975 before^H6440 their enemies.^H341

15 ♥ 📝 Whithersoever they went out,^H3318 the hand^H3027 of Jehovah^H3068 was against them for evil,^H7451 as Jehovah^H3068 had spoken,^H1696 and as Jehovah^H3068 had sworn^H7650 unto them: and they were sore^H3966 distressed.^H3334

16 ♥ 📝 And Jehovah^H3068 raised up^H6965 judges,^H8199 who saved^H3467 them out of the hand^H3027 of those that despoiled^H8154 them.

17 ♥ 📝 And yet they hearkened^H8085 not unto their judges;^H8199 for they played the harlot^H2181 after^H310 other^H312 gods,^H430 and bowed^H7812 themselves down unto them: they turned^H5493 aside quickly^H4118 out of the way^H1870 wherein their fathers^H1 walked,^H1980 obeying^H8085 the commandments^H4687 of Jehovah;^H3068 [but] they did^H6213 not so.

18 ♥ 📝 And when Jehovah^H3068 raised^H6965 them up judges,^H8199 then Jehovah^H3068 was with the judge,^H8199 and saved^H3467 them out of the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H341 all the days^H3117 of the judge:^H8199 for it repented^H5162 Jehovah^H3068 because^H6440 of their groaning^H5009 by reason of them that oppressed^H3905 them and vexed^H1766 them.

19 ♥ 📝 But it came to pass, when the judge^H8199 was dead,^H4194 that they turned^H7725 back, and dealt more corruptly^H7843 than their fathers,^H1 in following^H3212 other^H312 gods^H430 to serve^H5647 them, and to bow down^H7812 unto them; they ceased^H5307 not from their doings,^H4611 nor from their stubborn^H7186 way.^H1870

20 ♥ 📝 And the anger^H639 of Jehovah^H3068 was kindled^H2734 against Israel;^H3478 and he said,^H559 Because this nation^H1471 have transgressed^H5674 my covenant^H1285 which I commanded^H6680 their fathers,^H1 and have not hearkened^H8085 unto my voice;^H6963

21 ♥ 📝 I also will not henceforth^H3254 drive out^H3423 any^H376 from before^H6440 them of the nations^H1471 that Joshua^H3091 left^H5800 when he died;^H4191

22 ♥ 📝 that by them I may prove^H5254 Israel,^H3478 whether they will keep^H8104 the way^H1870 of Jehovah^H3068 to walk^H3212 therein, as their fathers^H1 did keep^H8104 it, or not.

23 ♥ 📝 So Jehovah^H3068 left^H3240 those nations,^H1471 without^H1115 driving them out^H3423 hastily;^H4118 neither delivered^H5414 he them into the hand^H3027 of Joshua.^H3091
