And Elijah came near to all the people and said, How long will you go on balancing between two opinions? if the Lord is God, then give worship to him; but if Baal, give worship to him. And the people said not a word in answer.

And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord their God, who took their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why the Lord has sent all this evil on them.

So that they may give you worship all the days of their life in the land which you gave to our fathers.

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.

Those used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods he sent out of the country, and he took away all the images which his fathers had made.
