LEB(i)
1 And the angel of Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, "I brought you up from Egypt, and I brought you to the land that I had promised to your ancestors.* I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you.
2 And as for you, do not ⌊make a covenant⌋* with the inhabitants of this land; break down their altars.' But you did not listen to my voice. ⌊Why would you do such a thing⌋?*
3 Now I say, I will not drive them out from before you; they will ⌊become as thorns⌋* for you, and their gods will be a trap for you."
4 And as the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the ⌊Israelites⌋,* the people ⌊wept bitterly⌋.*
