Jueces 2:10

10 También toda aquella generación fue reunida a sus padres; y se levantó otra generación después de ellos que no conocía al SEÑOR, ni la obra que El había hecho por Israel.

Jueces 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 2:10

And also all that generation were gathered unto their
fathers
Were dead and buried, that is, the greatest part of those that were contemporaries with the elders that outlived Joshua; for they might not be all dead, at least not all that came out of Egypt, and still less all that came into the land of Canaan; for, according to the computation of Ben Gersom, the time of Joshua and the elders were but twenty seven years; and there were no more than sixty seven years from their coming out of Egypt to this time; and no doubt there were men living of eighty years of age and more, but these might be but few:

and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the
Lord;
so as to love, fear, serve, and worship him; did not own him to be the one only living and true God, otherwise they must know him nationally, being educated in the true religion:

nor yet the works which he had done for Israel;
some of them, as before observed, might have seen the works and wonders of the Lord for Israel, at their first coming out of Egypt; though not being wise, as the above writer observes, it had no effect upon them, to keep them from doing evil in the sight of God; and they all of them had been informed of them, and many had seen, and must have had personal knowledge of what was done for them at their coming into the land of Canaan; but not a practical knowledge, or such as had any influence upon them, to preserve them from idolatry.

Jueces 2:10 In-Context

8 Josué, hijo de Nun, siervo del SEÑOR, murió a la edad de ciento diez años.
9 Y lo sepultaron en el territorio de su heredad, en Timnat-sera, en la región montañosa de Efraín, al norte del monte Gaas.
10 También toda aquella generación fue reunida a sus padres; y se levantó otra generación después de ellos que no conocía al SEÑOR, ni la obra que El había hecho por Israel.
11 Entonces los hijos de Israel hicieron lo malo ante los ojos del SEÑOR y sirvieron a los baales,
12 y abandonaron al SEÑOR, el Dios de sus padres, que los había sacado de la tierra de Egipto, y siguieron a otros dioses de entre los dioses de los pueblos que estaban a su derredor; se postraron ante ellos y provocaron a ira al SEÑOR.
