1. And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim,
|
1. And an angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 came up H5927 from H4480 Gilgal H1537 to H413 Bochim H1066 , and said H559 , I made you to go up H5927 H853 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , and have brought H935 you unto H413 the land H776 which H834 I swore H7650 unto your fathers H1 ; and I said H559 , I will never H3808 H5769 break H6565 my covenant H1285 with H854 you.
|
|
2. and saith, `I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye -- ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land -- their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice -- what is this ye have done?
|
2. And ye H859 shall make H3772 no H3808 league H1285 with the inhabitants H3427 of this H2063 land H776 ; ye shall throw down H5422 their altars H4196 : but ye have not H3808 obeyed H8085 my voice H6963 : why H4100 have ye done H6213 this H2063 ?
|
|
3. And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.`
|
3. Wherefore I also H1571 said H559 , I will not H3808 drive them out H1644 H853 from before H4480 H6440 you ; but they shall be H1961 as thorns in your sides H6654 , and their gods H430 shall be H1961 a snare H4170 unto you.
|
|
4. And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
|
4. And it came to pass H1961 , when the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 H853 these H428 words H1697 unto H413 all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , that the people H5971 lifted up H5375 H853 their voice H6963 , and wept H1058 .
|
|
5. and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice there to Jehovah.
|
5. And they called H7121 the name H8034 of that H1931 place H4725 Bochim H1066 : and they sacrificed H2076 there H8033 unto the LORD H3068 .
|
|
6. And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
|
6. And when Joshua H3091 had let H853 the people H5971 go H7971 , the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went H1980 every man H376 unto his inheritance H5159 to possess H3423 H853 the land H776 .
|
|
7. and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.
|
7. And the people H5971 served H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 all H3605 the days H3117 of Joshua H3091 , and all H3605 the days H3117 of the elders H2205 that H834 outlived H748 H3117 H310 Joshua H3091 , who H834 had seen H7200 H853 all H3605 the great H1419 works H4639 of the LORD H3068 , that H834 he did H6213 for Israel H3478 .
|
|
8. And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,
|
8. And Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 , the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 , died H4191 , being a hundred H3967 and ten H6235 years H8141 old H1121 .
|
|
9. and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of mount Gaash;
|
9. And they buried H6912 him in the border H1366 of his inheritance H5159 in Timnath H8556 -heres , in the mount H2022 of Ephraim H669 , on the north side H4480 H6828 of the hill H2022 Gaash H1608 .
|
|
10. and also all that generation have been gathered unto their fathers, and another generation riseth after them who have not known Jehovah, and even the work which He hath done to Israel.
|
10. And also H1571 all H3605 that H1931 generation H1755 were gathered H622 unto H413 their fathers H1 : and there arose H6965 another H312 generation H1755 after H310 them, which H834 knew H3045 not H3808 H853 the LORD H3068 , nor yet H1571 H853 the works H4639 which H834 he had done H6213 for Israel H3478 .
|
|
11. And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim,
|
11. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 H853 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 , and served H5647 H853 Baalim H1168 :
|
|
12. and forsake Jehovah, God of their fathers, who bringeth them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who are round about them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke Jehovah,
|
12. And they forsook H5800 H853 the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1 , which brought them out H3318 H853 of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , and followed H1980 H310 other H312 gods H430 , of the gods H4480 H430 of the people H5971 that H834 were round about H5439 them , and bowed themselves H7812 unto them , and provoked H3707 H853 the LORD H3068 to anger H3707 .
|
|
13. yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth.
|
13. And they forsook H5800 H853 the LORD H3068 , and served H5647 Baal H1168 and Ashtaroth H6252 .
|
|
14. And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies;
|
14. And the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was hot H2734 against Israel H3478 , and he delivered H5414 them into the hands H3027 of spoilers H8154 that spoiled H8155 them , and he sold H4376 them into the hands H3027 of their enemies H341 round about H4480 H5439 , so that they could H3201 not H3808 any longer H5750 stand H5975 before H6440 their enemies H341 .
|
|
15. in every place where they have gone out, the hand of Jehovah hath been against them for evil, as Jehovah hath spoken, and as Jehovah hath sworn to them, and they are distressed -- greatly.
|
15. Whithersoever H3605 H834 they went out H3318 , the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 was H1961 against them for evil H7451 , as H834 the LORD H3068 had said H1696 , and as H834 the LORD H3068 had sworn H7650 unto them : and they were greatly H3966 distressed H3334 .
|
|
16. And Jehovah raiseth up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
|
16. Nevertheless the LORD H3068 raised up H6965 judges H8199 , which delivered H3467 them out of the hand H4480 H3027 of those that spoiled H8154 them.
|
|
17. and also unto their judges they have not hearkened, but have gone a-whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside with haste out of the way in which their fathers walked to obey the commands of Jehovah -- they have not done so.
|
17. And yet H1571 they would not H3808 hearken H8085 unto H413 their judges H8199 , but H3588 they went a whoring H2181 after H310 other H312 gods H430 , and bowed themselves H7812 unto them : they turned H5493 quickly H4118 out of H4480 the way H1870 which H834 their fathers H1 walked H1980 in, obeying H8085 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 ; but they did H6213 not H3808 so H3651 .
|
|
18. And when Jehovah raised up to them judges -- then was Jehovah with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.
|
18. And when H3588 the LORD H3068 raised them up H6965 judges H8199 , then the LORD H3068 was H1961 with H5973 the judge H8199 , and delivered H3467 them out of the hand H4480 H3027 of their enemies H341 all H3605 the days H3117 of the judge H8199 : for H3588 it repented H5162 the LORD H3068 because of their groanings H4480 H5009 by reason of them H4480 H6440 that oppressed H3905 them and vexed H1766 them.
|
|
19. And it hath come to pass, at the death of the judge -- they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.
|
19. And it came to pass H1961 , when the judge H8199 was dead H4191 , that they returned H7725 , and corrupted H7843 themselves more than their fathers H4480 H1 , in following H1980 H310 other H312 gods H430 to serve H5647 them , and to bow down H7812 unto them ; they ceased H5307 not H3808 from their own doings H4480 H4611 , nor from their stubborn way H4480 H1 870 H7186 .
|
|
20. And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He saith, `Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My voice --
|
20. And the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was hot H2734 against Israel H3478 ; and he said H559 , Because H3282 that H834 this H2088 people H1471 hath transgressed H5674 H853 my covenant H1285 which H834 I commanded H6680 H853 their fathers H1 , and have not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto my voice H6963 ;
|
|
21. I also continue not to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua hath left when he dieth,
|
21. I H589 also H1571 will not H3808 henceforth H3254 drive out H3423 any H376 from before H4480 H6440 them of H4480 the nations H1471 which H834 Joshua H3091 left H5800 when he died H4191 :
|
|
22. in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept it or not.`
|
22. That H4616 through them I may prove H5254 H853 Israel H3478 , whether they H1992 will keep H8104 H853 the way H1870 of the LORD H3068 to walk H1980 therein, as H834 their fathers H1 did keep H8104 it , or H518 not H3808 .
|
|
23. And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
|
23. Therefore the LORD H3068 left H5117 H853 those H428 nations H1471 , without H1115 driving them out H3423 hastily H4118 ; neither H3808 delivered H5414 he them into the hand H3027 of Joshua H3091 .
