Judges 2:3 in Context — Judges 2

1 Y El ángel de Jehová subió de Gilgal á Bochîm, y dijo: Yo os saqué de Egipto, y os introduje en la tierra de la cual había jurado á vuestros padres; y dije: No invalidaré jamás mi pacto con vosotros;

2 Con tal que vosotros no hagáis alianza con los moradores de aquesta tierra, cuyos altares habéis de derribar: mas vosotros no habéis atendido á mi voz: ¿por qué habéis hecho esto?

3 Por tanto yo también dije: No los echaré de delante de vosotros, sino que os serán por [azote para] vuestros costados, y sus dioses por tropiezo.

4 Y como el ángel de Jehová habló estas palabras á todos los hijos de Israel, el pueblo lloró en alta voz.

5 Y llamaron por nombre aquel lugar Bochîm: y sacrificaron allí á Jehová.
