Introduction

An angel of the LORD issues a warning because the Israelites have disobeyed the LORD. The reading concludes with a recounting of the death of Joshua.

[The angel of the LORD said:] “You must not make any covenant with the people who live in this land.”

Today’s Reading

Judges 2:1-10

Reflect

What was the angel’s message to the Israelites? What promise had God made to Israel’s ancestors regarding the land of Canaan? What were the people to promise in return? Why had Joshua been such an important leader for Israel? According to verse 10, what had the people forgotten?

Pray

Lord God, you are faithful to your covenant. Keep me close to you and obedient to your will. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
