2:1 God’s messenger comes to Bokim

2 Then Yahweh’s messenger went from Gilgal to Bokim and told the Israelis, “I brought you all out of Mitsrayim (Egypt) and led you here to this land that I promised to your ancestors. I had said that I wouldn’t ever break my agreement with you all, 2 but that you mustn’t form treaties with the peoples who lived here, rather you must tear down their altars.[ref] But you all haven’t obeyed what I said. What have you gone and done? 3 So I’m telling you that I won’t drive your enemies out ahead of you, but they’ll be like thorns in your sides and you’ll all end up being enslaved to their idols.” 4 When Yahweh’s messenger finished saying that, the people wept loudly, 5 so they called that place Bokim (which means ‘weeping’) and they offered sacrifices to Yahweh there.

2 And_ the_messenger_of YHWH _he/it_ascended from (the)_Gilgāl to (the)_Bokim and_he/it_said I_brought_up you(pl) from_Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and_I_brought you(pl) into the_earth/land which I_swore to_ancestors_of_your(pl) and_I_said not I_will_break covenant_of_my with_you(pl) forever_perpetuity.

2 And_you(pl) not you(pl)_must_make a_covenant to_the_inhabitants_of the_earth/land (the)_this altars_of_their you(pl)_will_pull_down and_not you(pl)_have_listened to_voice_of_my what this have_you(pl)_done.

3 And_also I_say not I_will_drive_out them from_before_of_you(pl) and_they_will_be to/for_you(pl) (into)_sides and_gods_of_their they_will_become to/for_you(pl) (into)_a_snare.

4 And_he/it_was just_ the_messenger_of YHWH _as_spoke DOM the_words/messages the_these to all_of the_people_of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_ the_people _they_lifted_up DOM voice_of_their and_they_wept.

5 And_they_called the_name_of the_place (the)_that Bokim and_they_sacrificed there to/for_YHWH.
