"but you must not make an agreement with the people who live in this land. You should tear down the altars where they worship.’ But you have disobeyed me. Why would you do such a thing?"
— Judges 2:2, NET Bible
“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?”
“and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars. But ye have not hearkened unto my voice: why have ye done this? ”
“and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this?”
“On condition that you should not make a league with the inhabitants of this land, but should throw down their altars: and you would not hear my voice: why have you done this?”
“And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?”
“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?”
Confrontation and Repentance at Bokim The LORD’s angel went up from Gilgal to Bokim. He said,“I brought you up from Egypt and led you into the land I had solemnly promised to give to your ancestors. I said,‘I will never break my covenant with you,
but you must not make an agreement with the people who live in this land. You should tear down the altars where they worship.’ But you have disobeyed me. Why would you do such a thing?
At that time I also warned you,‘If you disobey, I will not drive out the Canaanites before you. They will ensnare you and their gods will lure you away.’”
When the LORD’s angel finished speaking these words to all the Israelites, the people wept loudly.
They named that place Bokim and offered sacrifices to the LORD there.
