1 Reis 12:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 12:29

And he set the one in Bethel
In the southern part of the land, on the border of Ephraim and Benjamin; and the rather he chose this place, because its name signifies the house of God, and had been a sacred place, where Jacob more than once enjoyed the divine Presence:

and the other put he in Dan:
in the northern part of the land, for the convenience of the inhabitants of those parts; and the rather, since it had been a place resorted to in former times, because of the teraphim of Micah there.

1 Reis 12:29 In-Context

27 Se este povo subir a Jerusalém para oferecer sacrifícios no templo do SENHOR, novamente dedicarão sua lealdade ao senhor deles, Roboão, rei de Judá. Eles vão me matar e vão voltar para o rei Roboão”.
28 Depois de aconselhar-se, o rei fez dois bezerros de ouro e disse ao povo: “Vocês já subiram muito a Jerusalém. Aqui estão os seus deuses, ó Israel, que tirarama vocês do Egito”.
29 Mandou pôr um bezerro em Betel e outro em Dã.
30 E isso veio a ser um pecado, pois o povo ia até Dã para adorar aquele bezerro.
31 Jeroboão construiu altares idólatras e designou sacerdotes dentre o povo, apesar de não serem levitas.
