Israel's Compromise




Judges 3: 5-7

"The Israelites lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. They took their daughters in marriage and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods. The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD; they forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs." (Judges 3:5-7)

*******

These verses give us the ugly details of Israel's first great failure:

  • They interacted with the Canaanites (Judges 3:5).
  • They intermarriaged with the Canaanites (Judges 3:6a).
  • They worshiped the idols of the Canaanites (Judges 3:6b, 7b).

They compromised the Word of God.

They compromised the will of God.

They wanted to do the things they desired to do!
