33 And he began to make offerings upon the altar that he had made in Bethʹel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month that he had invented by himself;*+ and he proceeded to make a festival for the sons of Israel and to make offerings upon the altar to make sacrificial smoke.+

7 for their* own errors and for the errors of their forefathers at the same time,”+ Jehovah has said. “Because they have made sacrificial smoke upon the mountains, and upon the hills+ they have reproached me,+ I will also measure out their wages first of all into their own bosom.”+

15 For my people have forgotten me+ in that they make sacrificial smoke to something worthless,+ and in that they make men stumble in their ways,+ the paths of long ago,+ to walk in roadways, a way not banked up,

2 And now they commit additional sin and make for themselves a molten statue from their silver,+ idols according to their own understanding,+ the work of craftsmen, all of it.+ To them they are saying, ‘Let the sacrificers who are men* kiss mere calves.’+
