26 And Jeroboam said in his heart: 'Now the kingdom will return to the house of David,
27 if this people ascend to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem. And the heart of this people will be converted to their lord Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and they will put me to death, and return to him.'
28 And devising a plan, he made two golden calves. And he said to them: 'No longer choose to ascend to Jerusalem. Behold, these are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt!'
29 And he stationed one in Bethel, and the other in Dan.
30 And this word became an occasion of sin. For the people went to adore the calf, even to Dan.
