Sdc 2, 1-23

1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. 2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? 3 Wherefore 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. 4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. 5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD. 6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land. 7 And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel. 8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old. 9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash. 10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. 11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: 12 And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger. 13 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. 14 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. 15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed. 16 Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. 17 And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so. 18 And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. 19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. 20 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; 21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: 22 That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 23 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

Verš 1

And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

Gn 17:7 - And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

Dt 29:14 - Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

Verš 2

And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?

Dt 7:2 - And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:

Dt 12:3 - And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.

Verš 3

Wherefore 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.

Joz 23:13 - Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

Ex 23:33 - They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Ex 34:12 - Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

Verš 6

And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

Joz 24:28 - So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.

Verš 14

And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

Ž 44:12 - Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

Iz 50:1 - Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

Verš 15

Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

Lv 26:1 - Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

Dt 28:1 - And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

Verš 19

And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

Verš 21

I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

Sdc 2,1-5 - O "Pánovom anjelovi" pozri Joz 5,14.16. – Anjel prichádza z Galgaly, izraelského to táborišťa, do Bochima. – Ku "zmluve, ktorú nezruší Pán naveky", porov. Ex 34,10 n. Izraeliti nesplnili podmienky vzájomnej zmluvy, preto ani Jahve nie je povinný splniť svoje prísľuby. Porov. Ex 23, 29–32; Dt 7,1–5; 12,3.

Sdc 2,6-9 - V. 6 je len málo rozšírený Joz 24,28. – V. 7 – Joz 24,31; v. 8 – Joz 24,29; v. 9 – Joz 24,30.

Sdc 2,11 - "Čo je zlé v Pánových očiach" – úcta cudzích bohov, modlárstvo. Porov. Dt 4,25; 17,2; 31,18.29; Sdc 3,7; 4,1; 6,1; 10,6; 13,1. – "Ba’al" pôvodne znamená ,pán', potom meno boha kanaánskych národov. Pod množným číslom sa rozumejú viacerí takíto miestni bohovia, ktorí mávali svoje zvláštne označenie, ako: Ba’al Sidón – Pán Sidona, Ba’al sidonský; Ba’al Sór – Ba’al týrsky. – "… národy, ktoré boli okolo nich", národy, s ktorými sa miešali. Porov. 1,21–35.

Sdc 2,13 - "'Aštóreth", Aštarta (množ. čís. "'aštaróth"), kanaánska bohyňa plodnosti, uctievaná aj u iných Semitov (napr. asýrska Ištar). Ako uctievali viacerých bálov, tak boli známe rôzne aštarty. K jej úcte stavali na výšinách alebo pod košatými stromami drevené stĺpy, koly ("ašery" alebo kamenné ihlany "maseby"), ktoré sa ukončievali znázornením bohyne. Niekedy zámenou Aštarta býva nazývaná Ašerou. Porov. 3,7.

Sdc 2,16 - V núdzi vzbudzoval Jahve sudcov Izraelitom. Sloveso "šáfat", od ktorého je odvodené meno šofét – sudca, znamená nielen súdiť, ale predovšetkým vysluhovať spravodlivosť, dopomáhať niekomu ku spravodlivosti a potom: vyslobodiť (1 Sam 24,16; 2 Sam 18,19.31). Izraelskí "sudcovia" boli pomstitelia krívd popáchaných na ľude, potom jeho vodcovia a osloboditelia a konečne vládcovia (nie však dediční). Porov. 2,18; 3,9.15.31.

Sdc 2,17 - Smilstvo – modlárstvo. Porov. Ex 34,15 n.; Lv 17,7; 20,6; Dt 31,16. – Cesta – spôsob života, mravy.

Sdc 2,21 - Jahve sa zaviazal, že vydá kanaánske národy do rúk Izraelitov (Ex 23,31). Tento Boží prísľub bol však viazaný na podmienku, že Izraeliti budú ctiť len jediného, pravého svojho Boha. Keďže nesplnili podmienku, nemôžu čakať ani splnenie prísľubu, ba naopak trest. Trest aj došiel, ktorý je zároveň skúškou Izraela (v. 22).
