3And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.'
3And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.'
1 And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim,
2 and saith, 'I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye — ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land — their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice — what is this ye have done?
3 And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.'
4 And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice there to Jehovah.
2:3Now therefore I tell you that I will not drive them out before you; they will be thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you."
2:3Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
2:3Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face: that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin.
2:3Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
2:3So now I say, I will not drive them out before you; but they shall become adversaries to you, and their gods shall be a snare to you.|
2:3Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
2:3Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
2:3Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.|
2:3Why I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
