1And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim,
2and saith, `I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye -- ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land -- their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice -- what [is] this ye have done?
3And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.`
4And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
5and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice there to Jehovah.
6And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
7and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.
