[2:1] The angel of the Lord went from Gilgal to Bochim and said to the Israelites, “I took you out of Egypt and brought you to the land that I promised to your ancestors. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you.
[2:2] You must not make any covenant with the people who live in this land. You must tear down their altars.’ But you have not done what I told you. You have done just the opposite!
[2:3] So I tell you now that I will not drive these people out as you advance. They will be your enemies, and you will be trapped by the worship of their gods.”
[2:4] When the angel had said this, all the people of Israel began to cry,
[2:5] and that is why the place is called Bochim. There they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
