28 Therefore the king asked advice, amade two calves of gold, and said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. bHere are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!”
29 And he set up one in aBethel, and the other he put in bDan.
30 Now this thing became aa sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.
31 He made1 shrines on the high places, aand made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
32 Jeroboam ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like athe feast that was in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. bAnd at Bethel he installed the priests of the high places which he had made.
33 So he made offerings on the altar which he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had adevised in his own heart. And he1 ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and bburned incense.
