Reading for November 27th

Read Judges 2.1-5
In 2.1-5: The angel of the Lord appears.
In verse 1: The angel of the Lord is a manifestation by which the Lord appears directly to humans (6.11;13.3).
The Hebrew word "mal'ak" can also be translated "messenger."
Gilgal, Joshua's former headquarters, abruptly reappears without explanation.
In verses 2-3: Because Israel has failed to keep aloof from the native population (Ex 34.12-13; Deut 7.2, 5), the Lord has implemented the punishment anticipated in Josh 23.13.
In verse 5: This tradition originally explained the name of a sanctuary.
