land; you shall throw down their altars: but you have not
obeyed My voice: why have you done this?
3 Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from
before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and
their elohim shall be a trap to you.
4 And it came to pass, when the Malach-vuvh spoke these
words to all the children of Yisrael, that the people lifted
up their voice, and wept.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they
sacrificed there to vuvh.
6 And when Yahoshua had let the people go, the children
of Yisrael went every man to his inheritance to possess
the land.
7 And the people served vuvh all the days of Yahoshua,
and all the days of the zechanim that outlived Yahoshua,
who had seen all the great nisim of vuvh, that He did for
Yisrael.
8 And Yahoshua the son of Nun, the eved of vuvh, died,
being one hundred ten years old.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in
Timnath-Cheres, in the Mount of Efrayim, on the north
side of the hill Gaash.
10 And also all that generation was gathered to their
ahvot: and there arose another generation after them, who
knew not vuvh, nor the nisim that He had done for
Yisrael.
11 And the children of Yisrael did evil in the sight of
vuvh, and served many of the Ba’alim: 712
12 And they forsook vuvh Elohim of their ahvot, who
brought them out of the land of Mitzrayim, and followed
other elohim, even the elohim of the peoples that were all
around them, and bowed themselves to them, and
provoked vuvh to anger.
13 And they forsook vuvh, and served Ba’al 713 and
Ashtaroth. 714
14 And the anger of vuvh was hot against Yisrael, and He
delivered them into the hands of spoilers that plundered
them, and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all
around, so that they could not any longer stand before
their enemies.
15 Wherever they went out, the hand of vuvh was against
them for evil, as vuvh had said, and as vuvh had sworn to
them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Nevertheless vuvh raised up shophtim, who delivered
them out of the hand of those that plundered them.
17 And yet they would not listen to their shophtim, but
they went whoring after other elohim, and bowed
themselves to them: they turned quickly out of the
halacha which their ahvot walked in, who obeyed the
mitzvoth of vuvh; but they did not do so.
18 And when vuvh raised up their shophtim, then vuvh
was with the shophet, and delivered them out of the hand
of their enemies all the days of the shophet’s chayim: for
vuvh had rachamim because of their groanings because of
those that oppressed them and crushed them.
19 And it came to pass, when the shophet was dead, that
they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their
ahvot, in following other elohim to serve them, and to
bow down to them; they ceased not from their own
doings, nor from their stubborn halachot.
20 And the anger of vuvh was hot against Yisrael; and He
said, Because this people has transgressed My brit which
I commanded their ahvot, and have not listened to
SHOPHTIM - JUDGES
- 171 -
My voice;
21 I will also no longer drive out from before them any of
the nations that Yahoshua left when he died:
22 That through them I may test Yisrael, whether they will
keep the halacha of vuvh to have their halacha in it, as
their ahvot did keep it, or not.
23 Therefore vuvh left those nations, without driving
them out quickly; neither did He deliver them into the
hand of Yahoshua.
3
Now these are the nations that vuvh left, to test
Yisrael, even many in Yisrael who had not known all the
wars of Kanaan;
2 Only so that the generations of the children of Yisrael
might know, to teach them war, only those who before
knew nothing about war;
3 Namely, five masters of the Plishtim, and all the
Kanaanites, and the Tsidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt
in Mount Levanon, from Mount Ba’al-Hermon to the
entering in of Hamath.
4 And they were to test Yisrael by them, to know whether
they would listen to the mitzvoth of vuvh, which He
commanded their ahvot through Moshe.
5 And the children of Yisrael dwelt among the
Kanaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and
Hivites, and Yevusites:
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and
gave their daughters to their sons, and served their
elohim. 715
7 And the children of Yisrael did evil in the sight of vuvh,
and forgot vuvh their Elohim, and served the Ba’alim and
the Asherim.
8 Therefore the anger of vuvh was hot against Yisrael,
and He sold them into the hand of Chushan-Rishathayim
melech of Aram-Naharayim: and the children of Yisrael
served Chushan-Rishathayim eight years.
9 And when the children of Yisrael cried to vuvh, vuvh
raised up a deliverer for the children of Yisrael, who
delivered them, even Othni-El the son of Kenaz, Kalev's
younger brother.
10 And the Ruach of vuvh 716 came upon Othni-El, and
He gave mishpat to Yisrael, and went out to war: and
vuvh delivered Khushan-Rishathayim melech of Aram-
Naharayim into his hand; and his hand prevailed against
Khushan-Rishathayim.
11 And the land had rest for forty years. And Othni-El the
son of Kenaz died.
12 And the children of Yisrael did evil again in the sight
of vuvh: and vuvh strengthened Eglon the melech of
Moav against Yisrael, because they had done evil in the
sight of vuvh.
13 And Eglon gathered to him the children of Ammon
and Amalek, and went and smote Yisrael, and possessed
the city of palm eytzim. 717
14 So the children of Yisrael served Eglon the melech of
Moav eighteen years.
15 But when the children of Yisrael cried to vuvh, vuvh
raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, the
Benyamite, a man impeded in his right hand: 718 and by
him the children of Yisrael sent a present to Eglon the
melech of Moav.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger that had two edges, of a
cubit length; and he did gird it under his robe upon his
