1 Kings 12:31 in Context — 1 Kings 12
29 Il plaça l’un de ces veaux à Béthel, et il mit l’autre à Dan.
30 Ce fut là une occasion de péché. Le peuple alla devant l’un des veaux jusqu’à Dan.
31 Jéroboam fit une maison de hauts lieux, et il créa des sacrificateurs pris parmi tout le peuple et n’appartenant point aux fils de Lévi.
32 Il établit une fête au huitième mois, le quinzième jour du mois, comme la fête qui se célébrait en Juda, et il offrit des sacrifices sur l’autel. Voici ce qu’il fit à Béthel afin que l’on sacrifiât aux veaux qu’il avait faits. Il plaça à Béthel les prêtres des hauts lieux qu’il avait élevés.
33 Et il monta sur l’autel qu’il avait fait à Béthel, le quinzième jour du huitième mois, mois qu’il avait choisi de son gré. Il fit une fête pour les enfants d’Israël, et il monta sur l’autel pour brûler des parfums.
