The angel of the LORD confronts Israel at Bochim (“weeping”) for breaking the covenant and sparing the Canaanites, warning that those nations will become a snare. As the generation that had seen the LORD’s works dies, a new generation arises “who did not know the LORD,” and the tragic cycle of the book is laid out: apostasy, oppression, crying out, and deliverance by a judge, repeated and worsening.
