Judges 2:6
Compare all
4 So it was, when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voices and wept.
5 Then they called the name of that place1 Bochim; and they sacrificed there to the Lord.  
6 And when aJoshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.  

Death of Joshua

7 aSo the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord which He had done for Israel.  
8 Now aJoshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died when he was one hundred and ten years old.  
9 aAnd they buried him within the border of his inheritance at bTimnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.  
10 When all that generation had1 been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who adid not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.  

Israel’s Unfaithfulness

11 Then the children of Israel did aevil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals;  
12 and they aforsook the Lord God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed bother gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they cbowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger.  
13 They forsook the Lord aand served Baal and the Ashtoreths.  
14 aAnd the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. So He bdelivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and cHe sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they dcould no longer stand before their enemies.  
15 Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for calamity, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had asworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.  
16 Nevertheless, athe Lord raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who plundered them.

Judges 2:6-10

And when Joshua had let the people go—This passage is a repetition of Joshua 24:29-31. It was inserted here to give the reader the reasons which called forth so strong and severe a rebuke from the angel of the Lord. During the lifetime of the first occupiers, who retained a vivid recollection of all the miracles and judgments which they had witnessed in Egypt and the desert, the national character stood high for faith and piety. But, in course of time, a new race arose who were strangers to all the hallowed and solemnizing experience of their fathers, and too readily yielded to the corrupting influences of the idolatry that surrounded them.
