Judges 2:10
Judges 2:10 in Multiple Translations
After 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.
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, that knew not Jehovah, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel.
And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.
Once that generation had passed away, the generation that followed did not know the Lord, or what he had done for Israel.
And so all that generation was gathered vnto their fathers, and another generation arose after them, which neither knewe the Lord, nor yet the works, which he had done for Israel.
and also all that generation have been gathered unto their fathers, and another generation riseth after them who have not known Jehovah, and even the work which He hath done to Israel.
After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know the LORD, nor the work which he had done for Israel.
And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
And all that generation was gathered to their fathers: and there arose others that knew not the Lord, and the works which he had done for Israel.
After all the people died who lived at the same time as Joshua [EUP], a group of people grew up who did not know Yahweh, and did not know what great things he had done for the Israeli people.

Context — Israel’s Unfaithfulness
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.
11And the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals. 12Thus they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they followed after various gods of the peoples around them. They bowed down to them and provoked the LORD to anger,Cross References

Judges 2:10 Summary
Judges 2:10 tells us that after the generation of Joshua died, a new generation grew up that didn't know God or what He had done for Israel. This happened because the older generation didn't teach the younger one about God's works, as commanded in Deuteronomy 6:7-9. As a result, the Israelites started serving other gods and doing evil things, which made God angry (Judges 2:11-12). We can learn from this by making sure to teach our children and others about God's love and works, and by remembering what He has done for us, just like it says in Psalm 78:4-8.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is meant by 'another generation rose up who did not know the LORD' in Judges 2:10?
This phrase indicates that the new generation of Israelites had no personal experience or knowledge of God's works and covenant with their ancestors, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:10-12 and Joshua 24:31.
How could the Israelites forget God's works so quickly after Joshua's death?
The Israelites' forgetfulness was a result of their lack of obedience to God's command to teach their children about His works, as stated in Deuteronomy 4:9 and Deuteronomy 6:7-9.
What were the consequences of this new generation not knowing the LORD?
The consequences were severe, as the Israelites began to serve other gods and do evil in the sight of the LORD, leading to God's anger and judgment, as seen in Judges 2:11-12 and Deuteronomy 28:15-20.
Is this verse still relevant to us today?
Yes, Judges 2:10 serves as a warning to believers today to remember God's works and covenant, and to teach their children about Him, lest we forget and fall into sin, as seen in Psalm 78:4-8 and Proverbs 22:6.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Judges 2:10
Which knew not the Lord; which had no experimental nor serious and affectionate knowledge of God, nor of his works.
Trapp's Commentary on Judges 2:10
Judges 2:10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.Ver. 10. And there arose another generation.] Things grow worse for most part, every age than other: - “ Aeras parentum peior avis tulit Nos nequiores, mox datura Progeniem vitiosiorem. ” - Hor. knew not the Lord,] i.e., Knew him not effectually and experimentally. As our Saviour knew no sin - that is, he did none; so men know not the Lord to any purpose, that obey him not; Eli’ s sons, for instance. Od. vi. lib. iii.
Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 2:10
(10) Gathered unto their fathers.—See 2 Kings 22:20, and for similar phrases, Genesis 15:15; 1 Kings 1:21; Acts 13:36, &c. Another common phrase is. “gathered unto his people” (Genesis 15:8, &c.); and “sleep with fathers” (Deuteronomy 31:16), &c. Which knew not the Lord.—“They proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord” (Jeremiah 9:3; comp. Titus 1:16).
Cambridge Bible on Judges 2:10
10. were gathered unto their fathers] This expression (as here only in 2 Kings 22:20 = 2 Chronicles 34:28), and the commoner ‘was gathered unto his people’ (P), referred originally to the family sepulchre; then to the shadowy life of Sheol, the Underworld; finally it was used as a euphemism for death. which knew not the Lord] in the sense in which the previous generation had known Him, by personal experience of His work, see Judges 2:7. According to this writer the death of Joshua marked a cleavage between the age of faith and the age of deterioration; the prophets Hosea (Judges 9:10 ff.) and Ezekiel (16) take an even gloomier view.
