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.
All of that generation died and joined their ancestors. Then a new generation grew up after them who did not know the LORD or remember the amazing things he had done for Israel.
This verse describes how an entire generation passed away, and the next generation grew up without knowing God or remembering his faithful acts toward their people.
📚 Historical Context
This verse marks a critical transition in Israel's history after Joshua's death around 1400 BC. The generation that had witnessed God's miracles in Egypt, the wilderness wanderings, and the conquest of Canaan had died. Their children and grandchildren, now settled in the Promised Land, had not personally experienced these defining moments of God's power and faithfulness to Israel.
