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. And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the Lord.
Conclusion
Conclusion
The angel of the Lord came to the people and reminded them of all that God had said and did. The people realized that they had not given God the love and service he required and deserved. They realized that they had not shown their gratefulness to a God that had worked so much on their behalf and promised them so much.
Upon being confronted with their sin of idolatry they wept and the sacrificed; both of which are a sign of repentance. They realized their wrong and repented and sought to get it right with God.
