The Scriptures 1998

Judges 2:7-14 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. And the people served יהוה all the days of Yehoshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Yehoshua, who had seen all the great works of יהוה which He had done for Yisra’ĕl.

8. And Yehoshua son of Nun, the servant of יהוה, died, one hundred and ten years old.

9. And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Ḥeres, in the mountains of Ephrayim, on the north side of Mount Ga‛ash.

10. And all that generation were likewise gathered to their fathers, and another generation arose after them who did not know יהוה nor the work which He had done for Yisra’ĕl.

11. Then the children of Yisra’ĕl did evil in the eyes of יהוה, and served the Ba‛als,

12. and forsook יהוה Elohim of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim, and went after other mighty ones, of the mighty ones of the people who were all around them, and they bowed down to them, and provoked יהוה.

13. So they forsook יהוה and served Ba‛al and the Ashtoreths.

14. And the displeasure of יהוה burned against Yisra’ĕl. Therefore He gave them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them. And He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, and they were unable to stand before their enemies any longer.
