As a nation Israel first fell to idol worship early in the Exodus, when Moses was up Mount Sinai, and Aaron made a golden calf for the people to worship. This incident is recorded in Exodus 32. A fall into idol worship also correctly implies that they had knowledge of and worshiped the one true God. This is certainly so as this one true God, also named Yahweh or Jehovah, is frequently referred to in scripture as the 'God of your fathers,' here referring to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob the patriarchs of the nation of Israel.

His dynasty would have survived had he not condemned himself, his offspring and his nation by his promotion of idolatry (Egyptian golden calf worship) and false religious practices at shines in Dan and Bethel.
