Then they set up the carved image, and they appointed Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Moses, as their priest. This family continued as priests for the tribe of Dan until the Exile.

Then Moses spoke again to Korah:“ Now listen, you Levites!Does it seem insignificant to you that the God of Israel has chosen you from among all the community of Israel to be near him so you can serve in the Lord’s Tabernacle and stand before the people to minister to them?Korah, he has already given this special ministry to you and your fellow Levites. Are you now demanding the priesthood as well?

Then he said to Korah and his followers,“ Tomorrow morning the Lord will show us who belongs to him and who is holy. The Lord will allow only those whom he selects to enter his own presence.

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.This became a great sin and resulted in the utter destruction of Jeroboam’s dynasty from the face of the earth.

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.
