And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the place of weepers, and said: I made you go out of Egypt, and have brought you into the land for which I swore to your fathers: and I promised that I would not make void my covenant with you for ever: 2On condition that you should not make a league with the inhabitants of this land, but should throw down their altars: and you would not hear my voice: why have you done this? 3Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face; that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin. 4And when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel: they lifted up their voice, and wept. 5And the name of that place was called, The place of weepers, or of tears: and there they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
