¹Now the angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I had promised to your fathers, and I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you, ²and you are not to make a covenant with the people of this land, but you shall tear down their altars.’ ³Yet you have not obeyed My voice. What is this you have done? So now I tell you that I will not drive out these people before you; they will be thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.” ⁴When the angel of the LORD had spoken these words to all the Israelites, the people lifted up their voices and wept. ⁵So they called that place Bochim and offered sacrifices there to the LORD.
