2 Chronicles 7:4-11 - The Temple Dedication
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices to Jehovah. 5 King Solomon offered twenty-two thousand cattle and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep as sacrifices to Jehovah. Thus the king and all the people dedicated God's Temple. 6 The priests were standing at their posts. So were the Levites who had Jehovah's musical instruments that King David made for praising Jehovah. They were saying: his mercy endures forever. This he used to offer praise. The priests were opposite the Levites blowing trumpets while all Israel was standing there. 7 Solomon designated the courtyard in front of Jehovah's Temple as a holy place. He sacrificed the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat because the copper altar that he had made and that was in front of Jehovah was not able to hold all of them.
8 Then Solomon and all Israel celebrated the Festival of Booths. A very large crowd came from the territory between the border of Hamath and the River of Egypt. 9 There was an assembly on the eighth day. They observed the dedication of the altar for seven days and celebrated the festival for another seven days. 10 Solomon dismissed the people to their tents on the twenty-third day of the seventh month. They rejoiced with cheerful hearts for all the blessings Jehovah had given David, Solomon, and his people Israel.
11 Solomon finished Jehovah's Temple and the royal palace and completed everything he had in mind for Jehovah's Temple and his own palace.
