Judges 2 · Grade 3
The Circle of Sin
Read the Story
Yahweh's angel came from Gilgal to Bochim. He reminded Israel that God had brought them from Egypt and would never break His covenant. But they had made deals with the people of the land. So those nations would be like thorns to them.
The people served God while Joshua and the elders lived. Then another generation grew up who did not know Yahweh. They served the Baals and the Ashtaroth.
God let robbers and enemies defeat them. When the people groaned, God was moved. He raised up judges and was with each judge. But after the judge died, they turned back and did worse than their fathers.
