Bo´chim (weepings), the name given to a place (probably near Shiloh, where the tabernacle then was), where an 'angel of the Lord' reproved the assembled Israelites for their disobedience in making leagues with the inhabitants of the land, and for their remissness in taking possession of their heritage. This caused the bitter weeping among the people for which the place took its name (Judges 2:1).
