Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Después de pedir consejo, el rey hizo dos becerros de oro y dijo al pueblo: 'Es muy difícil para ustedes viajar hasta Jerusalén. ¡Miren, aquí están sus dioses, Israel, los que los sacaron de Egipto!'
Jeroboam hizo ídolos de oro para evitar que el pueblo fuera a adorar a Jerusalén, llevándolos a la idolatría.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical account, after King Solomon's death, the kingdom of Israel divided into the northern kingdom under Jeroboam and the southern kingdom under Rehoboam. Jeroboam, as the new king of the north, feared that his people would travel to Jerusalem for worship and potentially defect to the southern kingdom, so he created two golden calves as idols to keep them loyal. He presented these calves to the people as the gods that had delivered them from Egypt, echoing the earlier idolatry during the Exodus.
