And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.

וַֽיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, *** I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:

יְהוָ֛ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And they gave that place the name of Bochim, and made offerings there to the Lord.

לַֽיהוָֽה׃ (יהוָֽה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the people were true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the responsible men who were still living after the death of Joshua, and had seen all the great work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And death came to Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, he being a hundred and ten years old.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord and became servants to the Baals;

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And they gave up the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had taken them out of the land of Egypt, and went after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about them, worshipping them and moving the Lord to wrath.

יְהוָ֣ה׀ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of those who violently took their property, and into the hands of their haters all round them, so that they were forced to give way before them.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then the Lord gave them judges, as their saviours from the hands of those who were cruel to them.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But still they would not give ear to their judges, but went after other gods and gave them worship; quickly turning from the way in which their fathers had gone, keeping the orders of the Lord; but they did not do so.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to them.

יְהוָ֥ה׀ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So the Lord let those nations go on living in the land, not driving them out quickly, and did not give them up into the hands of Joshua.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now these are the nations which the Lord kept in the land for the purpose of testing Israel by them, all those who had had no experience of all the wars of Canaan;

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

For the purpose of testing Israel by them, to see if they would give ear to the orders of the Lord, which he had given to their fathers by the hand of Moses.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and put out of their minds the Lord their God, and became servants to the Baals and the Astartes.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel were his servants for eight years.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the spirit of the Lord came on him and he became judge of Israel, and went out to war, and the Lord gave up Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands and he overcame him.

יְהוָה֮ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord made Eglon, king of Moab, strong against Israel, because they had done evil in the Lord's eyes.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”
