TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Social Chaos in Judges

While the book of Judges celebrates divine rescue through heroes, it also chronicles the inadequacy of the status quo. A decline in individual piety throughout the period was accompanied by a rise in social dysfunction, powerfully expressed in chapter 5 (e.g., 5:6-8). Three features of the times stand out: First, the tribes had little ability to function in unison, even when faced by a common enemy (see, e.g., the Gideon and Jephthah stories; chs 8, 12). The civil strife within and between tribes reflects covenant disobedience.

Second, the breakdown of civil society is also evidenced throughout the book. Abimelech’s murder of Gideon’s sons, Jephthah’s apparent sacrifice of his daughter, and Samson’s acts of revenge toward the Philistines highlight the depravity and lack of civility that characterized this period.

Third, religious apostasy was widespread in those days. The “evil in the Lord’s sight” committed by the Israelites was repeatedly connected to idolatry (Judg 2:11-13; 3:7; 10:6). The altar to Baal and the Asherah pole in Gideon’s town of Ophrah (6:25-30) indicate flagrant abandonment of the Lord, as do the worship of the golden ephod made by Gideon (8:27) and the return to worshiping Baal after Gideon’s death (8:33-35). Samson’s intermarriage with the Philistines also directly contradicted the covenant commands (see Deut 7:1-4).

Social chaos culminates in the closing chapters (Judg 17–21). The incident of Micah, the Levite, and the Danites (chs 17–18) combines religious irregularities with lawless marauding, theft, and violence. The climactic final epilogue (chs 19–21) describes a tragic civil war and the utter abandonment of civility. Marital breakdown, inhospitality, rape, and murder (ch 19) led to the near elimination of the Benjamites (ch 20), who were spared only by the complete decimation of a historic city (Jabesh-gilead) and a sham ceremony in which maidens were seized to become wives (21:6-23). Little wonder that the book concludes, “In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes” (21:25).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠גַם֙ כָּל־הַ⁠דּ֣וֹר הַ⁠ה֔וּא נֶאֶסְפ֖וּ אֶל־אֲבוֹתָ֑י⁠ו

and=also all/each/any/every the,generation (the)=that gathered to/towards ancestors,their

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was Yahweh. Alternate translation: “And Yahweh also gathered all of that generation to its fathers”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

וְ⁠גַם֙ & נֶאֶסְפ֖וּ אֶל־אֲבוֹתָ֑י⁠ו

and=also & gathered to/towards ancestors,their

The author is using gathered to its fathers to mean that the people of that generation died. This is a mild way of referring to death. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “And … also passed away”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹא־יָֽדְעוּ֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה וְ⁠גַם֙ אֶת־הַֽ⁠מַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֖ה לְ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

which/who not know DOM YHWH and=also DOM the,work which/who he/it_had_made for,Israel

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “who did not know Yahweh and also did not know the deed that he had done for Israel”

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

הַֽ⁠מַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה

the,work

Since the author is referring to all of the things that Yahweh … had done for Israel, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of deed as in 2:7. Alternate translation: “the deeds”
