Offend — Commit like sins. Gilgal — Gilgal was chosen by Jeroboam, or by succeeding idolaters for the solemn worship of their idols. Beth — aven — Beth — el, where Jacob lodged, who called it Beth — el, the house of God; but when Jeroboam made it the place for his calf — worship, it became Beth — aven, the house of vanity or iniquity. Nor swear — This is a part put for the whole worship of God, which the prophet warns them not to blend with their idolatries.
