And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 33 is found in chapter 8 of Judges. After Gideon’s death, Israel again prostitutes itself to the Baals and forgets the Lord and the kindness he had shown through Gideon. Gideon’s family history becomes connected with the fragility of collective memory. The people not only abandon God but also forget the concrete acts of deliverance they received. The conclusion prepares the succession conflict involving Abimelech.

Da aber Gideon gestorben war, kehrten sich die Kinder Israel um und liefen dem Baalim nach und machten sich Baal-Berith zum Gott.
Y aconteció que como murió Gedeón, los hijos de Israel tornaron, y fornicaron en pos de los Baales, y se pusieron por Dios a Baal-berith.
Lorsque Gédéon fut mort, les enfants d'Israël recommencèrent à se prostituer aux Baals, et ils prirent Baal-Berith pour leur dieu.
E, dopo che Gedeone fu morto, i figliuoli d’Israele tornarono a fornicare dietro a’ Baali, e si costituirono Baal-berit per dio.
E sucedeu que, como Gideão faleceu, os filhos de Israel tornaram a se prostituir após os baalins; e puseram a Baal-Berite por deus.
基甸 死後, 以色列 人又去隨從諸 巴力 而行淫,以 巴力‧比利土 為他們的神明。
