Judges 2:6-10

Covenant Rebuke and the Pattern of Israel's Apostasy

From covenant indictment to cycle framework: the LORD confronts Israel's disobedience, the post-Joshua generation forsakes Him, and the pattern of discipline, compassion, deliverance, and deeper relapse is established.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6After Joshua had dismissed the people, the Israelites went out to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance.

7And the people served the LORD throughout the days of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, who had seen all the great works that the LORD had done for Israel.

8And Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of 110.

9They buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath-heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

10After that whole generation had also been gathered to their fathers, another generation rose up who did not know the LORD or the works that He had done for Israel.
