I am looking at this passage is the LES but I noticed the word sacrifice is not there. But in other lxx translations, it is. Is this an error in LES or a textual variant?

Exodus 32:8
Exo 32:8 they have quickly gone out of the way which thou commandedst; they have made for themselves a calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Brenton [[No split at V9]]
Exo 32:8 [ 8 ] They have deviated quickly from the way that you commanded them. They made for themselves a calf and did obeisance to it and offered sacrifices to it, and they said, [ 9 ] These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. NETS
Exo 32:8 8 They have turned away quickly from the conduct concerning which I commanded them. They have made for themselves a young bull and have worshiped it and even said, 9 ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’ LES
Have the translators seen the words translated as 'worshipped' and 'sacrifices' as just 'worshiped'? That is how do you worship a golden calf?
Blair,
The LES is based on Swete's edition of the LXX.
The <sacrifice> words are in Codex Alexandrinus but not in other txx of the LXX.
