And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 2 of Judges. Israel begins serving the Baals and the images of Ashtoreth, provoking the Lord’s anger. The theological cycle of the book is established: abandonment of God, oppression, and loss of the protection Israel had received. Defeat is not presented simply as military inferiority but as a consequence of covenant unfaithfulness.

und verließen den HERRN, ihrer Väter Gott, der sie aus Ägyptenland geführt hatte, und folgten andern Göttern nach von den Göttern der Völker, die um sie her wohnten, und beteten sie an und erzürnten den HERRN;
Y dejaron a Jehová el Dios de sus padres, que los había sacado de la tierra de Egipto, y fuéronse tras otros dioses, los dioses de los pueblos que estaban en sus alrededores, a los cuales adoraron; y provocaron a ira a Jehová.
Ils abandonnèrent l'Eternel, le Dieu de leurs pères, qui les avait fait sortir du pays d'Egypte, et ils allèrent après d'autres dieux d'entre les dieux des peuples qui les entouraient; ils se prosternèrent devant eux, et ils irritèrent l'Eternel.
E abbandonarono il Signore Iddio de’ lor padri, il quale li avea tratti fuor del paese di Egitto, e andarono dietro ad altri dii, d’infra gl’iddii de’ popoli ch’erano d’intorno a loro; e li adorarono, e irritarono il Signore.
E deixaram ao SENHOR Deus de seus pais, que os tirara da terra do Egito, e foram-se após outros deuses, dentre os deuses dos povos, que havia ao redor deles, e adoraram a eles; e provocaram o SENHOR à ira.
