Later
The word "later" signifies the passage of time and the conclusion of Gideon's life. It indicates a period after his significant achievements and leadership as a judge of Israel. This term invites reflection on the temporal nature of human life and the enduring impact of one's actions and faithfulness to God.

Gideon
Gideon, also known as Jerubbaal, was a judge and military leader chosen by God to deliver Israel from the oppression of the Midianites. His name means "hewer" or "one who cuts down," symbolizing his role in cutting down the altars of Baal and leading Israel to victory. Gideon's account is a testament to God's power working through human weakness and obedience.

son of Joash
This phrase identifies Gideon's lineage, grounding him in his family and tribal context. Joash was an Israelite of the tribe of Manasseh, and his initial skepticism about Gideon's divine calling highlights the transformative journey of faith within a family. It underscores the importance of spiritual heritage and the influence of family in one's faith journey.

died
The mention of Gideon's death marks the end of his earthly journey and leadership. Death is a universal human experience, reminding believers of the transient nature of life and the hope of eternal life through faith in God. Gideon's death invites reflection on the legacy one leaves behind and the eternal significance of living a life devoted to God's purposes.

at a ripe old age
This phrase indicates that Gideon lived a long and full life, a sign of God's blessing and favor. In biblical times, longevity was often associated with righteousness and divine approval. It serves as an encouragement to live faithfully, trusting that God rewards those who diligently seek Him.

was buried
Burial practices in ancient Israel were significant, reflecting respect for the deceased and hope in the resurrection. Gideon's burial in his family's tomb signifies honor and continuity with his ancestors. It highlights the importance of family and community in the biblical narrative and the hope of being gathered to one's people in death.

in the tomb of his father Joash
This phrase emphasizes the familial and tribal connections that were central to Israelite identity. The tomb of Joash represents a place of rest and honor, linking Gideon to his heritage and the faith of his forefathers. It underscores the biblical theme of generational faithfulness and the importance of honoring one's family legacy.

in Ophrah
Ophrah was Gideon's hometown, a place of significance in his life and ministry. It was here that he encountered the angel of the Lord and received his divine commission. Ophrah serves as a reminder of God's presence and calling in the ordinary places of life, encouraging believers to be faithful wherever God has placed them.

of the Abiezrites
The Abiezrites were a clan within the tribe of Manasseh, to which Gideon belonged. This detail roots Gideon in his tribal identity, emphasizing the communal and covenantal aspects of Israel's relationship with God. It highlights the importance of community and belonging in the life of faith, reminding believers of their place within the body of Christ.

(32) And Gideon . . . died.--Gideon died in peace and prosperity (Genesis 15:15; Genesis 49:29, &c), in a good old age (Job 5:26), but the evil seed which he had sown bore bitter fruit in the next generation.
