Judges 2:1-10

Judges 2:1-10 NCV

The angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, “I brought you up from Egypt and led you to the land I promised to give your ancestors. I said, ‘I will never break my agreement with you. But you must not make an agreement with the people who live in this land. You must destroy their altars.’ But you did not obey me. How could you do this? Now I tell you, ‘I will not force out the people in this land. They will be your enemies, and their gods will be a trap for you.’ ” After the angel gave Israel this message from the LORD, they cried loudly. So they named the place Bokim. There they offered sacrifices to the LORD. Then Joshua sent the people back to their land. The people served the LORD during the lifetime of Joshua and during the lifetimes of the elders who lived after Joshua and who had seen what great things the LORD had done for Israel. Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of one hundred ten. They buried him in his own land at Timnath Serah in the mountains of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. After those people had died, their children grew up and did not know the LORD or what he had done for Israel.
