1And an angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came up from Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling] to Bokhim [Weeping], and said, I made you to go up out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. 2And you^2f shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; you^2f shall throw down their altars: but you^2f have not obeyed my voice: why have you^2f done this? 3For what reason I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you. 4And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke these words unto all the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. 5And they called the name of that place Bokhim [Weeping]: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

6And when Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] had let the people go, the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land. 7And the people served the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) all the days of Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], and all the days of the elders that outlived Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], who had seen all the great works of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that he did for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 8And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] the son of Nun [Posterity], the servant of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), died, [being] an hundred and ten years old. 9And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnat-Heres [Portion of the Sun], in the mount of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], on the north side of the hill Ga’ash [Quaking]. 10And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), nor yet the works which he had done for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

11And the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] did evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and served Ba’alim [lords (false gods)]: 12And they forsook the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that [were] round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to anger. 13And they forsook the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and served Ba’al [lord (a false god)] and ‘Ashtarot [Star (female deity)]. 14And the anger of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was hot against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. 15Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was against them for evil, as the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had said, and as the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

16Nevertheless the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. 17And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); [but] they did not so. 18And when the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) raised them up judges, then the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. 19And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, [that] they returned, and corrupted [themselves] more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. 20And the anger of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was hot against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and he said, Because that this people has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened unto my voice; 21I also will not from this time forth (from now on) drive out any from before them of the nations which Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] left when he died: 22That through them I may prove Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], whether they will keep the way of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to walk in it, as their fathers did keep [it], or not. 23Therefore the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation].
