El ángel de Jehová en Boquim

El ángel de Jehová subió de Gilgal a Boquim, y dijo: Yo os saqué de Egipto, y os introduje en la tierra de la cual había jurado a vuestros padres, diciendo: No invalidaré jamás mi pacto con vosotros, con tal que vosotros no hagáis pacto con los moradores de esta tierra, cuyos altares habéis de derribar;(A) mas vosotros no habéis atendido a mi voz. ¿Por qué habéis hecho esto? Por tanto, yo también digo: No los echaré de delante de vosotros, sino que serán azotes para vuestros costados, y sus dioses os serán tropezadero. Cuando el ángel de Jehová habló estas palabras a todos los hijos de Israel, el pueblo alzó su voz y lloró. Y llamaron el nombre de aquel lugar Boquim,[a] y ofrecieron allí sacrificios a Jehová.

Muerte de Josué

(Jos. 24.29-31)

Porque ya Josué había despedido al pueblo, y los hijos de Israel se habían ido cada uno a su heredad para poseerla. Y el pueblo había servido a Jehová todo el tiempo de Josué, y todo el tiempo de los ancianos que sobrevivieron a Josué, los cuales habían visto todas las grandes obras de Jehová, que él había hecho por Israel. Pero murió Josué hijo de Nun, siervo de Jehová, siendo de ciento diez años. Y lo sepultaron en su heredad en Timnat-sera,(B) en el monte de Efraín, al norte del monte de Gaas. 10 Y toda aquella generación también fue reunida a sus padres. Y se levantó después de ellos otra generación que no conocía a Jehová, ni la obra que él había hecho por Israel.

Apostasía de Israel, y la obra de los jueces

11 Después los hijos de Israel hicieron lo malo ante los ojos de Jehová, y sirvieron a los baales. 12 Dejaron a Jehová el Dios de sus padres, que los había sacado de la tierra de Egipto, y se fueron tras otros dioses, los dioses de los pueblos que estaban en sus alrededores, a los cuales adoraron; y provocaron a ira a Jehová. 13 Y dejaron a Jehová, y adoraron a Baal y a Astarot. 14 Y se encendió contra Israel el furor de Jehová, el cual los entregó en manos de robadores que los despojaron, y los vendió en mano de sus enemigos de alrededor; y no pudieron ya hacer frente a sus enemigos. 15 Por dondequiera que salían, la mano de Jehová estaba contra ellos para mal, como Jehová había dicho, y como Jehová se lo había jurado; y tuvieron gran aflicción.

16 Y Jehová levantó jueces que los librasen de mano de los que les despojaban; 17 pero tampoco oyeron a sus jueces, sino que fueron tras dioses ajenos, a los cuales adoraron; se apartaron pronto del camino en que anduvieron sus padres obedeciendo a los mandamientos de Jehová; ellos no hicieron así. 18 Y cuando Jehová les levantaba jueces, Jehová estaba con el juez, y los libraba de mano de los enemigos todo el tiempo de aquel juez; porque Jehová era movido a misericordia por sus gemidos a causa de los que los oprimían y afligían. 19 Mas acontecía que al morir el juez, ellos volvían atrás, y se corrompían más que sus padres, siguiendo a dioses ajenos para servirles, e inclinándose delante de ellos; y no se apartaban de sus obras, ni de su obstinado camino. 20 Y la ira de Jehová se encendió contra Israel, y dijo: Por cuanto este pueblo traspasa mi pacto que ordené a sus padres, y no obedece a mi voz, 21 tampoco yo volveré más a arrojar de delante de ellos a ninguna de las naciones que dejó Josué cuando murió; 22 para probar con ellas a Israel, si procurarían o no seguir el camino de Jehová, andando en él, como lo siguieron sus padres. 23 Por esto dejó Jehová a aquellas naciones, sin arrojarlas de una vez, y no las entregó en mano de Josué.

Israel’s Disobedience

Then the Angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said: (A)“I led you up from Egypt and (B)brought you to the land of which I swore to your fathers; and (C)I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you. And (D)you shall make no [a]covenant with the inhabitants of this land; (E)you shall tear down their altars.’ (F)But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this? Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you; but they shall be (G)thorns[b] in your side, and (H)their gods shall [c]be a (I)snare to you.’ ” So it was, when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voices and wept.

Then they called the name of that place [d]Bochim; and they sacrificed there to the Lord. And when (J)Joshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.

Death of Joshua(K)

(L)So 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 works of the Lord which He had done for Israel. Now (M)Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died when he was one hundred and ten years old. (N)And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at (O)Timnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash. 10 When all that generation had [e]been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who (P)did not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.

Israel’s Unfaithfulness

11 Then the children of Israel did (Q)evil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals; 12 and they (R)forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed (S)other gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they (T)bowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger. 13 They forsook the Lord (U)and served [f]Baal and the [g]Ashtoreths. 14 (V)And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. So He (W)delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and (X)He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they (Y)could no longer stand before their enemies. 15 Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for calamity, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had (Z)sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

16 Nevertheless, (AA)the Lord raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who plundered them. 17 Yet they would not listen to their judges, but they (AB)played the harlot with other gods, and bowed down to them. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers walked, in obeying the commandments of the Lord; they did not do so. 18 And when the Lord raised up judges for them, (AC)the Lord was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; (AD)for the Lord was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed them and harassed them. 19 And it came to pass, (AE)when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

20 Then the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel; and He said, “Because this nation has (AF)transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not heeded My voice, 21 I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua (AG)left when he died, 22 so (AH)that through them I may (AI)test Israel, whether they will keep the ways of the Lord, to walk in them as their fathers kept them, or not.” 23 Therefore the Lord left those nations, without driving them out immediately; nor did He deliver them into the hand of Joshua.

And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?

Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

And it came to pass, when the angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the Lord.

And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, that he did for Israel.

And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.

10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim:

12 And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.

13 And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

14 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

16 Nevertheless the Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

17 And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the Lord; but they did not so.

18 And when the Lord raised them up judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the Lord because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

20 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

22 That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

23 Therefore the Lord left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
