“All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.”
The statement that all their evil was in Gilgal and the Lord hates them there establishes a specific location of apostasy (Gilgal) as the focus of divine rejection. The promise to drive them out of the house of the LORD and love them no more indicates the complete dissolution of covenant relationship, the removal of Israel from God's presence and favor. This verse marks the most severe statement of covenant rupture, suggesting that Israel's evil at a specific location (Gilgal) has become occasion for complete rejection.
