Judges 2:5
"And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

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.
