“ ‘Don’t make idols for yourselves or set up statues or memorials. Don’t put stone statues in your land to bow down to, because I am the Lord your God.
The people rejected all the commands of the Lord their God. They molded statues of two calves, and they made an Asherah idol. They worshiped all the stars of the sky and served Baal.
“You must not bow down to their gods or worship them. You must not live the way those people live. You must destroy their idols, breaking into pieces the stone pillars they use in worship.
At that time people will throw away their gold and silver idols, which they made for themselves to worship; they will throw them away to the bats and moles.
“Anyone will be cursed who makes an idol or statue and secretly sets it up, because the Lord hates the idols people make.” Then all the people will say, “Amen!”
The people of Dan set up the idols in the city of Dan. Jonathan son of Gershom, Moses’ son, and his sons served as priests for the tribe of Dan until the land was captured.
