The dedication of the LORD’s house, and the feast of seven days and seven more days

여호와의 전의 낙성식과 칠일 칠일 합 십 사일의 절기

1 Kings 8:62–66: the king, and all Israel with him, offer sacrifice before the LORD. Solomon offers for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicate the LORD’s house. The same day the king makes the middle of the court holy that was before the LORD’s house; for there he offers the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings. The text says, “So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.” On the eighth day he sends the people away; and they bless the king, and go to their tents joyful and glad in their hearts for all the goodness that the LORD had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people. At 8:64 the Korean Revised Version reads 감사제의 기름 the first time and 화목제의 기름 the second, where WEB reads “the fat of the peace offerings” both times, and at 8:66 it names Solomon (제 팔일에 솔로몬이) where WEB reads “he”.

The accounts arrange the feast and dismissal differently. This collection does not decide how the eighth day relates to the twenty-third day of the seventh month.
