32 Jeroboam [b]ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like (G)the feast that was in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. (H)And 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 (I)devised in his own heart. And he [c]ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and (J)burned incense.
