The Angel of the Lord at Bokim

2 The angel of the Lord^(A) went up from Gilgal^(B) to Bokim^(C) and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt^(D) and led you into the land I swore to give to your ancestors.^(E) I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you,^{(F) 2} and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land,^(G) but you shall break down their altars.^(H)’ Yet you have disobeyed^(I) me. Why have you done this? ³ And I have also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you;^(J) they will become traps^(K) for you, and their gods will become snares^(L) to you.’”

⁸ he sent them a prophet,^(A) who said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt,^(B) out of the land of slavery.^{(C) 9} I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians. And I delivered you from the hand of all your oppressors;^(D) I drove them out before you and gave you their land.^{(E) 10} I said to you, ‘I am the Lord your God; do not worship^(F) the gods of the Amorites,^(G) in whose land you live.’ But you have not listened to me.”
