The warning at Bochim

1Then the angel of Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, “I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to your fathers, and I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you.’”

2And you were not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you were to tear down their altars. But you have not listened to my voice. What is this you have done?

3So I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; they will become adversaries to you, and their gods will become a snare to you.’
