2 So you must not make a covenant with the people of this land. Instead, you must tear down their altars.' "But you have disobeyed me. Why did you do it?
3 I have something to tell you. I will not drive those people out to make room for you. They will be like thorns in your sides. Their gods will be a trap to you."
4 The angel of the Lord spoke those things to all of the people of Israel. Then the people began to sob out loud.
5 So that place was called Bokim. The people offered sacrifices to the Lord there.
6 Joshua sent the people of Israel away. Then they went to take over the land. All of them went to their own shares of land.
7 The people served the Lord as long as Joshua lived. They also served him as long as the elders lived. Those were the elders who lived longer than Joshua did. They had seen all of the great things the Lord had done for Israel.
8 Joshua, the servant of the Lord, died. He was the son of Nun. He was 110 years old when he died.
