The Book of Judges



Judges, Chapter 2


And the Angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to The Place of Weeping, and said, I caused you to come up out of Egypt and brought you into the land which I had sworn to your fathers, and said, I will not break My covenant with you forever.


And you, you shall cut no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars. Yet you have not listened to My voice. What [is] this you have done?


And I also have said, I shall not expel them before you, and they shall become adversaries to you; and their gods shall become a snare to you.


And it happened when the Angel of Jehovah spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.


And they called the name of that place Jehovah there.
