Judges 2
1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
Bochim was near Gilgal or Bethel. Remember, Gilgal was the place where all Israel made a dedication of themselves to the Lord on their entrance into the land.

The Angel asked, “Why?” Why did you not obey my commands? The thought was; “what did you hope to accomplish by doing that?”

Numbers 33:54-56
54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
