Reading for December 4th

 Read Judges 2.1-6. 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 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. Comments or Questions..
