7 Porque como os filhos de Israel pecassem contra o SENHOR seu Deus, que os tirou da terra do Egito de sob a mão de Faraó rei do Egito, e temessem a deuses alheios,

11 E queimaram ali incenso em todos os altos, à maneira das nações que o SENHOR havia expulsado diante deles, e fizeram coisas muito más para provocar o SENHOR à ira,
