The LORD’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you. Exo 20:2Exo 23:20Gen 17:7-8Lev 26:42Psa 105:44-45Act 7:30-33Exo 14:14Exo 14:19 You shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to my voice. Why have you done this? Deu 7:2-4Jer 2:36Deu 7:16Ezr 9:1-3Jer 2:5Num 33:52-532Co 6:14-17Deu 12:2-3 Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’” Jos 23:13Num 33:55Psa 106:36Deu 7:16Exo 23:33Exo 34:12Jdg 2:21Jdg 3:6
When the LORD’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept. 2Co 7:10Jas 4:91Sa 7:6Ezr 10:1Jer 31:9Luk 6:21Luk 7:38Pro 17:10 They called the name of that place Bochim, 1 and they sacrificed there to the LORD. 1Sa 7:9Gen 35:8Jdg 13:19Jdg 6:24Jos 7:26 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel each went to his inheritance to possess the land. Jos 24:28-31Jos 22:6 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 of the LORD that he had worked for Israel. Php 2:122Ki 12:2Jos 24:312Ch 24:14-222Ch 24:2 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old. Jos 24:29-30 They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash. Jos 19:50Jos 24:30 After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know the LORD, nor the work which he had done for Israel. 1Sa 2:12Tit 1:16Exo 5:21Ch 28:9Act 13:36Jer 31:342Sa 7:12Deu 31:16 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and served the Baals. Jdg 10:6Jdg 3:7Jdg 4:1Jdg 6:11Ki 18:18Jdg 8:33Jdg 13:11Sa 7:4 They abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger. Exo 20:5Deu 13:5Deu 29:25Deu 6:14-15Deu 29:18Deu 5:9Deu 31:16-17Deu 32:15 They abandoned the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.

He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies. 2Ki 17:20Psa 106:40-42Deu 32:30Deu 31:17-182Ch 36:16Jdg 10:7Jdg 3:7-8Jdg 4:2 Wherever they went out, the LORD’s hand was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn to them; and they were very distressed.

Act 13:201Sa 12:11Psa 106:43-45Jdg 3:15Neh 9:27Jdg 3:9-10Jdg 4:5Jdg 6:14 Yet they didn’t listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the LORD’s commandments. They didn’t do so. Deu 9:12Gal 1:6Jdg 2:7Hos 2:2Rev 17:1-51Sa 12:121Sa 12:171Sa 12:19 When the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved the LORD because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them. Deu 32:36Jos 1:5Exo 2:242Ki 13:22-23Hos 11:8Psa 106:44-452Ki 13:4Gen 6:6 But when the judge was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways. Jdg 8:33Jdg 4:12Ch 24:17-18Jdg 3:11-12Mat 23:32Jer 23:171Sa 15:23Jdg 2:7 The LORD’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice, Jdg 2:14Jos 23:16Deu 29:10-13Deu 32:22Exo 24:3-8Exo 32:10-11Ezk 20:37Jdg 10:7 I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them; Jos 23:13Ezk 20:24Jdg 2:3Jdg 3:3 that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep the LORD’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.” Deu 8:2Deu 8:16Deu 13:3Pro 17:3Gen 22:12Ch 32:31Jdg 3:1-4Job 23:10 So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily.
