Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of[ other] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams,[ the same] may be a priest of[ them that are] no gods.

Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give[ also] unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites,[ shall reach] from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city[ shall be] in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.

Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves[ of] gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.And this thing became a sin: for the people went[ to worship] before the one,[ even] unto Dan.And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that[ is] in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month,[ even] in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

And[ the residue] of the families of the sons of Kohath had cities of their coasts out of the tribe of Ephraim.And they gave unto them,[ of] the cities of refuge, Shechem in mount Ephraim with her suburbs;[ they gave] also Gezer with her suburbs,And Jokmeam with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs,And Aijalon with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs:And out of the half tribe of Manasseh; Aner with her suburbs, and Bileam with her suburbs, for the family of the remnant of the sons of Kohath.Unto the sons of Gershom[ were given] out of the family of the half tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, and Ashtaroth with her suburbs:And out of the tribe of Issachar; Kedesh with her suburbs, Daberath with her suburbs,And Ramoth with her suburbs, and Anem with her suburbs:And out of the tribe of Asher; Mashal with her suburbs, and Abdon with her suburbs,And Hukok with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs:And out of the tribe of Naphtali; Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, and Hammon with her suburbs, and Kirjathaim with her suburbs.Unto the rest of the children of Merari[ were given] out of the tribe of Zebulun, Rimmon with her suburbs, Tabor with her suburbs:And on the other side Jordan by Jericho, on the east side of Jordan,[ were given them] out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer in the wilderness with her suburbs, and Jahzah with her suburbs,Kedemoth also with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs:And out of the tribe of Gad; Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, and Mahanaim with her suburbs,And Heshbon with her suburbs, and Jazer with her suburbs.

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve,[ even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity:[ it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer[ as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD,[ even] a tenth[ part] of the tithe.And[ this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though[ it were] the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD’S heave offering to Aaron the priest.

And all the tithe of the land,[ whether] of the seed of the land,[ or] of the fruit of the tree,[ is] the LORD’S:[ it is] holy unto the LORD.And if a man will at all redeem[ ought] of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth[ part] thereof.And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock,[ even] of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.These[ are] the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim,[ to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities.And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs,Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities.And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.All the cities[ were] ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the[ other] half tribe of Manasseh[ they gave] Golan in Bashan with her suburbs,[ to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities.And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs,[ to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families[ were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs,[ to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all.So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were[ by] their lot twelve cities.All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel[ were] forty and eight cities with their suburbs.These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus[ were] all these cities.

After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became[ one] of the priests of the high places.
