Describe how Jeroboam broke the covenant way of life ?

  

Answers


Eric
He stopped the people from going to worship in Jerusalem since he wanted to cut the
interaction between his people and those from the Southern kingdom.
- He made golden calves and put them at Bethel and Dan for the people to worship as their
gods.
- He built an alternative place of worship for the people of the Northern kingdom.
- Jeroboam built shrines in high places for the worship of the idols similar to those of the
Canaanites.
- Jeroboam himself also worshiped the idols.
- He took upon himself the responsibility of appointing priests who were not from the house of
Levi.
- He instituted festivals in the Northern kingdom like feast s celebrated in Judah according to
the Jewish calendar.
- He offered sacrifices to the calves he had made although he was not a priest.
All these showed that Jeroboam had gone against the Covenant way of life.
This religious separation between Judah and Israel contributed to the spread of idolatry in
Israel
