29 E pôs o um em Betel, e o outro pôs em Dã.

30 E isto foi ocasião de pecado; porque o povo ia a adorar diante do um, até Dã.

31 Fez também casa de altos, e fez sacerdotes da classe do povo, que não eram dos filhos de Levi.

32 Então instituiu Jeroboão solenidade no mês oitavo, aos quinze do mês, conforme à solenidade que se celebrava em Judá; e sacrificou sobre altar. Assim fez em Betel, sacrificando aos bezerros que havia feito. Ordenou também em Betel sacerdote

33 Sacrificou pois sobre o altar que ele havia feito em Betel, aos quinze do mês oitavo, o mês que ele havia inventado de seu coração; e fez festa aos filhos de Israel, e subiu ao altar para queimar incenso.
