WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.340 Chapter 2 And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bokem, and said, 00:05.640 --> 00:09.840 I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I 00:09.840 --> 00:11.080 swear unto your fathers. 00:11.680 --> 00:17.060 And I said, I will never break my covenant with you, and ye shall make no league with 00:17.060 --> 00:18.460 the inhabitants of this land. 00:19.080 --> 00:23.560 Ye shall throw down their altars, but ye have not obeyed my voice. 00:23.560 --> 00:25.140 Why have ye done this? 00:25.880 --> 00:30.780 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall 00:30.780 --> 00:35.400 be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you. 00:35.800 --> 00:39.700 And it came to pass, when the angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the 00:39.700 --> 00:43.120 children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. 00:43.640 --> 00:47.960 And they called the name of that place Bokem, and they sacrificed there unto the 00:47.960 --> 00:48.260 Lord. 00:48.960 --> 00:53.240 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto 00:53.240 --> 00:54.940 his inheritance to possess the land. 00:55.580 --> 00:59.480 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the 00:59.480 --> 01:03.300 elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord that he 01:03.300 --> 01:04.060 did for Israel. 01:04.660 --> 01:09.260 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being an hundred and ten 01:09.260 --> 01:09.900 years old. 01:10.340 --> 01:13.820 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Hiraz, 01:14.200 --> 01:17.220 in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gesh. 01:17.840 --> 01:21.200 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers. 01:21.520 --> 01:25.440 And there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, 01:25.840 --> 01:27.940 nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. 01:28.680 --> 01:33.400 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim. 01:34.080 --> 01:37.560 And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the 01:37.560 --> 01:41.720 land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round 01:41.720 --> 01:46.440 about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger. 01:47.000 --> 01:50.980 And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. 01:51.840 --> 01:54.420 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. 01:54.960 --> 01:57.960 And he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them. 01:58.280 --> 02:01.780 And he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could 02:01.780 --> 02:03.880 not any longer stand before their enemies. 02:05.040 --> 02:08.360 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, 02:08.740 --> 02:11.880 as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn unto them. 02:12.360 --> 02:14.040 And they were greatly distressed. 02:15.540 --> 02:19.800 Nevertheless the Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hands of 02:19.800 --> 02:20.880 those that spoiled them. 02:21.560 --> 02:23.960 And yet they would not hearken unto their judges. 02:24.680 --> 02:28.260 But they went a-whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them. 02:28.760 --> 02:32.100 They turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the 02:32.100 --> 02:33.040 commandments of the Lord. 02:33.300 --> 02:34.920 But they did not so. 02:35.560 --> 02:39.420 And when the Lord raised them up judges, then the Lord was with the judge, 02:39.600 --> 02:42.820 and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. 02:42.820 --> 02:46.660 For it repented the Lord because of their groanings, by reason of them that 02:46.660 --> 02:48.040 oppressed them and vexed them. 02:48.860 --> 02:53.360 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted 02:53.360 --> 02:57.160 themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, 02:57.440 --> 02:58.740 and to bow down unto them. 02:59.200 --> 03:02.840 They ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. 03:03.680 --> 03:06.120 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. 03:06.360 --> 03:10.540 And he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant, which I 03:10.540 --> 03:15.580 commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice, I also will not 03:15.580 --> 03:19.660 henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he 03:19.660 --> 03:25.080 died, that through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of 03:25.080 --> 03:28.660 the Lord to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it or not. 03:29.200 --> 03:32.760 Therefore the Lord left those nations, without driving them out hastily. 03:32.760 --> 03:35.780 Neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
