1 Kings 12:30

This caused Israel to sin; ¹  the people went to Bethel and Dan to worship the calves. ² 

And this thing became a sin; the people went even as far as Dan to worship the one there.

Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

This became a great sin, for the people worshiped them, traveling even as far as Dan.

This was blatant sin. Think of it--people traveling all the way to Dan to worship a calf!

And this became a sin in Israel; for the people went to give worship to the one at Beth-el, and to the other at Dan.

And this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one at Bethel and before the other as far as Dan.

Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

This caused Israel to sin; ¹  the people went to Bethel and Dan to worship the calves. ² 

¹ tn Heb “and this thing became a sin.”

² tc The MT reads “and the people went before the one to Dan.” It is likely that some words have been accidentally omitted and that the text originally said, “and the people went before the one at Bethel and before the one at Dan.”
