SECT. CXXVII.
THe people of Israel now finding themselves sorely annoyed by the Canaanites in several parts of the Land, there was [it seems] an Assembly called of the Heads of all the Tribes to Shiloh, that they might Consult what was fit for them to do in this case. The Lord was pleased to send the Angel of the Covenant to them in an Humane shape, (the same Angel that appeared to Joshua at Gilgal, Josh. 5.14. and therefore is here said to come up from Gilgal) who sharply reproves them for their remisness and carelesness in executing the Commands of God. He tells them He brought them up out of Egypt into that good Land, and He would never break his Covenant with them, if they did not first break their Covenant with Him. He had commanded them, That they should make no League with the Ca∣naanites, Deut. 7.2. but should throw down their Altars, Deut. 11.3. but they had not obeyed his Voice therein. Therefore (says he) I said I will not drive out the Inhabitants of the Land before you, but they shall be as Thornes in your Sides, and

their gods shall be a Snare unto you, to intangle you in their Idolatry to your per∣dition, Exod. 23.33. & 34.12. The people being convinc'd by the Angel's words of their great Sin, they lifted up their Voice and wept, and they called the place upon that occasion Bochim,viz. the place of Weepers. And here they offered Sacrifices to the Lord, to make Attonement for their sins.
Judg. 2. from 1. to 6.
Notes
Called so v. 1. by anti∣cipation, and here from the event, because the Israelites did weep a∣bundantly in this place.
