Juízes 2:5

5 Pelo que chamaram �quele lugar Boquim; e ali sacrificaram ao Senhor.

Juízes 2:5 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 2:5

And they called the name of that place Bochim
Which signifies "weepers", from the general lamentation of the people, which before had another name; very probably it was Shiloh itself since all Israel was gathered together, the tabernacle being now at Shiloh, and also because sacrifices were offered up, as follows:

and they sacrificed there unto the Lord;
to atone for the sins they had committed; and if they did this in the faith of the great sacrifice of the Messiah, they did well; however, so far there was an acknowledgment of their, guilt, and a compliance with the appointments of God directed to in such cases.

Juízes 2:5 In-Context

3 Pelo que também eu disse: Não os expulsarei de diante de vós; antes estarão quais espinhos nas vossas ilhargas, e os seus deuses vos serão por laço.
4 Tendo o anjo do Senhor falado estas palavras a todos os filhos de Israel, o povo levantou a sua voz e chorou.
5 Pelo que chamaram �quele lugar Boquim; e ali sacrificaram ao Senhor.
6 Havendo Josué despedido o povo, foram-se os filhos de Israel, cada um para a sua herança, a fim de possuírem a terra.
7 O povo serviu ao Senhor todos os dias de Josué, e todos os dias dos anciãos que sobreviveram a Josué e que tinham visto toda aquela grande obra do Senhor, a qual ele fizera a favor de Israel.
