The Angel's Rebuke at Bochim

Judges 2:1-5

Now the angel of ADONAI came up from Gilgal to Bokhim and said, "I brought you up out of Egypt, led you to the land I swore to your fathers and said, 'I will never break my covenant with you;

you, for your part, are not to make any covenant with the inhabitants of this land but must tear down their altars.' However, you have paid no attention to what I said. What is this you have done?

This is why I also said, 'I will not drive them out before you; but they will be on your flanks, and their gods will become a snare for you.'"

When the angel of ADONAI spoke these words to all the people of Isra'el, they began crying and wailing at the top of their voices.

So they called the name of that place Bokhim [crying] and sacrificed there to ADONAI.
