7:1 The temple dedication

(1 Kgs 8:62-66)

7When Shelomoh (Solomon) finished praying, fire came down from the skies and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and Yahweh’s brilliant light filled the temple.[ref] 2The priests weren’t able to go into Yahweh’s temple because of Yahweh’s brilliant light, 3and when all the Israelis saw the fire come down and saw the bright light above the temple, they fell to their knees with their faces bowed down low to the stone pavement, and worshipped and thanked Yahweh saying, “He is certainly good—his loyal commitment really will continue forever.”[ref]

4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh5King Shelomoh sacrificed twenty-two thousand cattle and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep, and so the king and all the people dedicated God’s temple. 6The priests were standing in their positions, as well as the Levites with the instruments that King David had made to give thanks to Yahweh. When they assisted David in praising Yahweh, they would sing, “Yes, his loyal commitment continues forever,” and the priests would blow their trumpets in front of them as all the Israelis stood there.

7Then Shelomoh consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of Yahweh’s temple building so he could offer burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings there, because the bronze altar that he’d made wasn’t able to handle the large number of burnt offerings and grain offerings, and the fats.

8Then Shelomoh and all Yisrael feasted for the next seven days—the huge gathering spread from Levo-Hamat in the far north, all the way to the Egyptian riverbed in the far south. 9On the eighth day, they had a solemn service, because they’d observed seven days of celebration for the altar with seven days of feasting. 10Finally after some three weeks, Shelomoh sent the people home—they were cheery and encouraged because of the goodness that Yahweh had displayed to David and Shelomoh, and for his Israeli people.
