1. Now the angel of Adonai came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and He said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and took you into the land which I swore to your fathers. I also said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you.
2. Now as for you, you must make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You must break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to My voice. What is this you have done?
3. Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you, but they will be thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’”
4. Now when the angel of Adonai spoke these words to all Bnei-Yisrael, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
5. So they called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to Adonai.
6. Now when Joshua had sent the people away, Bnei-Yisrael went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
7. Then the people worshipped Adonai all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Adonai that He had done for Israel.
8. Then Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Adonai, died at the age of 110 years,
9. and they buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.
