when he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat and calf idols he had made.

Jeroboam had appointed his own priests to serve at the high places. He had made statues of gods that looked like goats and calves. His priests served those gods.

and he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat idols and for the calves that he had made.

Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places, the goat-demons, and the golden calves he had made.

He set up priests of his own for the high places, for the satyrs and the calves which he had made.

Then he appointed for himself priests for the high places, for the demons, and the calf idols which he had made.

and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the he- goats, and for the calves which he had made.

Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places, the goat-demons, and the golden calves he had made.

And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.

Jeroboam appointed his own priests to serve at the worship centers and to lead in the worship of the goat idols and calf idols he had made.

He himself appointed priests for the high places, for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.

So on the advice of his counselors, the king made two gold calves. He said to the people,“ It is too much trouble for you to worship in Jerusalem. Look, Israel, these are the gods who brought you out of Egypt!”

But even after this, Jeroboam did not turn from his evil ways. He continued to choose priests from the common people. He appointed anyone who wanted to become a priest for the pagan shrines.

They offered sacrifices to demons, which are not God, to gods they had not known before, to new gods only recently arrived, to gods their ancestors had never feared.

Jeroboam also erected buildings at the pagan shrines and ordained priests from the common people— those who were not from the priestly tribe of Levi.

Then Aaron took the gold, melted it down, and molded it into the shape of a calf. When the people saw it, they exclaimed,“ O Israel, these are the gods who brought you out of the land of Egypt!”Aaron saw how excited the people were, so he built an altar in front of the calf. Then he announced,“ Tomorrow will be a festival to the Lord!”The people got up early the next morning to sacrifice burnt offerings and peace offerings. After this, they celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.The Lord told Moses,“ Quick! Go down the mountain! Your people whom you brought from the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.How quickly they have turned away from the way I commanded them to live! They have melted down gold and made a calf, and they have bowed down and sacrificed to it. They are saying,‘ These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

So Moses returned to the Lord and said,“ Oh, what a terrible sin these people have committed. They have made gods of gold for themselves.

Now they continue to sin by making silver idols, images shaped skillfully with human hands.“ Sacrifice to these,” they cry,“ and kiss the calf idols!”

Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.

The people made a calf at Mount Sinai; they bowed before an image made of gold.They traded their glorious God for a statue of a grass eating bull.

They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God the Almighty.

“ O Samaria, I reject this calf— this idol you have made. My fury burns against you. How long will you be incapable of innocence?This calf you worship, O Israel, was crafted by your own hands! It is not God! Therefore, it must be smashed to bits.

You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made other gods for yourself and have made me furious with your gold calves. And since you have turned your back on me,

No, not at all. I am saying that these sacrifices are offered to demons, not to God. And I don’t want you to participate with demons.You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord’s Table and at the table of demons, too.
