Judges 2

1And 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.

וַיַּעַל מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָה מִן־הַגִּלְגָּל אֶל־הַבֹּכִים ף וַיֹּאמֶר אַעֲלֶה אֶתְכֶם מִמִּצְרַיִם וָאָבִיא אֶתְכֶם אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶם וָאֹמַר לֹא־אָפֵר בְּרִיתִי אִתְּכֶם לְעֹולָם׃ (6288)

2And 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?

וְאַתֶּם לֹא־תִכְרְתוּ בְרִית לְיֹושְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת מִזְבְּחֹותֵיהֶם תִּתֹּצוּן וְלֹא־שְׁמַעְתֶּם בְּקֹלִי מַה־זֹּאת עֲשִׂיתֶם׃ (6949)

3Wherefore 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.

וְגַם אָמַרְתִּי לֹא־אֲגָרֵשׁ אֹותָם מִפְּנֵיכֶם וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לְצִדִּים וֵאלֹהֵיהֶם יִהְיוּ לָכֶם לְמֹוקֵשׁ׃ (2907)

4And 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.

וַיְהִי כְּדַבֵּר מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֶל־כָּל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּשְׂאוּ הָעָם אֶת־קֹולָם וַיִּבְכּוּ׃ (2820)

5And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.

וַיִּקְרְאוּ שֵׁם־הַמָּקֹום הַהוּא בֹּכִים וַיִּזְבְּחוּ־שָׁם לַיהוָה׃ (1378)

6And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

וַיְשַׁלַּח יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶת־הָעָם וַיֵּלְכוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ לְנַחֲלָתֹו לָרֶשֶׁת אֶת־הָאָרֶץ׃ (4398)

7And 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.

וַיַּעַבְדוּ הָעָם אֶת־יְהוָה כֹּל יְמֵי יְהֹושֻׁעַ וְכֹל ׀ יְמֵי הַזְּקֵנִים אֲשֶׁר הֶאֱרִיכוּ יָמִים אַחֲרֵי יְהֹושׁוּעַ אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ אֵת כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂה יְהוָה הַגָּדֹול אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (6023)

8And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

וַיָּמָת יְהֹושֻׁעַ בִּן־נוּן עֶבֶד יְהוָה בֶּן־מֵאָה וָעֶשֶׂר שָׁנִים׃ (2181)

9And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.

וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹותֹו בִּגְבוּל נַחֲלָתֹו בְּתִמְנַת־חֶרֶס בְּהַר אֶפְרָיִם מִצְּפֹון לְהַר־גָּעַשׁ׃ (3846)

10And 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.

וְגַם כָּל־הַדֹּור הַהוּא נֶאֶסְפוּ אֶל־אֲבֹותָיו וַיָּקָם דֹּור אַחֵר אַחֲרֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָדְעוּ אֶת־יְהוָה וְגַם אֶת־הַמַּעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (5189)

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

וַיַּעֲשׂוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֶת־הַבְּעָלִים׃ (2495)

12And 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.

וַיַּעַזְבוּ אֶת־יְהוָה ׀ אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹותָם הַמֹּוצִיא אֹותָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרֵי ׀ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים מֵאֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹותֵיהֶם וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶם וַיַּכְעִסוּ אֶת־יְהוָה ׃ (5666)

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

וַיַּעַזְבוּ אֶת־יְהוָה וַיַּעַבְדוּ לַבַּעַל וְלָעַשְׁתָּרֹות׃ (2170)

14And 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.

וַיִּחַר־אַף יְהוָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד־שֹׁסִים וַיָּשֹׁסּוּ אֹותָם וַיִּמְכְּרֵם בְּיַד אֹויְבֵיהֶם מִסָּבִיב וְלֹא־יָכְלוּ עֹוד לַעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי אֹויְבֵיהֶם׃ (3726)

15Whithersoever 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.

בְּכֹל ׀ אֲשֶׁר יָצְאוּ יַד־יְהוָה הָיְתָה־בָּם לְרָעָה כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה וְכַאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע יְהוָה לָהֶם וַיֵּצֶר לָהֶם מְאֹד׃ (3696)

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

וַיָּקֶם יְהוָה שֹׁפְטִים וַיֹּושִׁיעוּם מִיַּד שֹׁסֵיהֶם׃ (1538)

17And 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.

וְגַם אֶל־שֹׁפְטֵיהֶם לֹא שָׁמֵעוּ כִּי זָנוּ אַחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶם סָרוּ מַהֵר מִן־הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלְכוּ אֲבֹותָם לִשְׁמֹעַ מִצְוֹת־יְהוָה לֹא־עָשׂוּ כֵן׃ (5759)

18And 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.

וְכִי־הֵקִים יְהוָה ׀ לָהֶם שֹׁפְטִים וְהָיָה יְהוָה עִם־הַשֹּׁפֵט וְהֹושִׁיעָם מִיַּד אֹיְבֵיהֶם כֹּל יְמֵי הַשֹּׁופֵט כִּי־יִנָּחֵם יְהוָה מִנַּאֲקָתָם מִפְּנֵי לֹחֲצֵיהֶם וְדֹחֲקֵיהֶם׃ (3687)

19And 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.

וְהָיָה ׀ בְּמֹות הַשֹּׁופֵט יָשֻׁבוּ וְהִשְׁחִיתוּ מֵאֲבֹותָם לָלֶכֶת אַחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לְעָבְדָם וּלְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֹת לָהֶם לֹא הִפִּילוּ מִמַּעַלְלֵיהֶם וּמִדַּרְכָּם הַקָּשָׁה׃ (5983)

20And 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;

וַיִּחַר־אַף יְהוָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר יַעַן אֲשֶׁר עָבְרוּ הַגֹּוי הַזֶּה אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי אֶת־אֲבֹותָם וְלֹא שָׁמְעוּ לְקֹולִי׃ (5600)

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

גַּם־אֲנִי לֹא אֹוסִיף לְהֹורִישׁ אִישׁ מִפְּנֵיהֶם מִן־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר־עָזַב יְהֹושֻׁעַ וַיָּמֹת׃ (2960)

22That 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.

לְמַעַן נַסֹּות בָּם אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲשֹׁמְרִים הֵם אֶת־דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה לָלֶכֶת בָּם כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמְרוּ אֲבֹותָם אִם־לֹא׃ (5091)

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

וַיַּנַּח יְהוָה אֶת־הַגֹּויִם הָאֵלֶּה לְבִלְתִּי הֹורִישָׁם מַהֵר וְלֹא נְתָנָם בְּיַד־יְהֹושֻׁעַ׃ (2868)
