1 Kings 12:31 in Context — 1 Kings 12

29 Y puso el uno en Beth-el, y el otro puso en Dan.

30 Y esto fué [ocasión de] pecado; porque el pueblo iba [á adorar] delante del uno, hasta Dan.

31 Hizo también casa de altos, é hizo sacerdotes de la clase del pueblo, que no eran de los hijos de Leví.

32 Entonces instituyó Jeroboam solemnidad en el mes octavo, á los quince del mes, conforme á la solemnidad que [se celebraba] en Judá; y sacrificó sobre altar. Así hizo en Beth-el, sacrificando á los becerros que había hecho. Ordenó también en Beth-el sacerdotes de los altos que él había fabricado.

33 Sacrificó pues sobre el altar que él había hecho en Beth-el, á los quince del mes octavo, el mes que él había inventado de su corazón; é hizo fiesta á los hijos de Israel, y subió al altar para quemar perfumes.
