Scripture Content

So the king took counsel and made two calves of gold. And he said to the people, 'You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough. Behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.' And this thing became a sin, for the people went as far as Dan to be before one. He also made temples on high places and appointed priests from among all the people.
