That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 2 of Judges. God raises up judges to deliver Israel, but the people repeatedly return to idolatry after each deliverer dies. The sequence shows that the judges provide temporary deliverance without resolving the collective tendency toward unfaithfulness. God leaves some nations in the land to test Israel and determine whether it will obey his commandments. The book thus begins explaining why the period is characterized by repeated cycles of downfall and deliverance.

daß ich Israel durch sie versuche, ob sie auf dem Wege des HERRN bleiben, daß sie darin wandeln, wie ihre Väter geblieben sind, oder nicht.
Para que por ellas probara yo a Israel, si guardarían ellos el camino de Jehová andando por él, como sus padres lo guardaron, o no.
para poner a prueba con ellas a Israel y ver si guarda el camino de Jehová y anda por él como lo guardaron sus antepasados, o si no lo hace».
C'est ainsi que je mettrai par elles Israël à l'épreuve, pour savoir s'ils prendront garde ou non de suivre la voie de l'Eternel, comme leurs pères y ont pris garde.
Il che fu, per provar per esse Israele se osserverebbero la via del Signore, per camminare in essa, come l’osservarono i padri loro, o no.
Para por elas provar a Israel, se há de guardar, ou não, o caminho do SENHOR, como seus pais o guardaram, para nele andar.
為要藉此考驗 以色列 是否肯謹守遵行耶和華的道,像他們列祖一樣地謹守。」
