1 Kings 8:62-64

EasyEnglish Bible

Solomon offers the temple as a gift to God

⁶² Then the king and all the Israelite people who were with him offered sacrifices to the Lord.

⁶³ These are the friendship offerings that Solomon offered to the Lord:

In this way, King Solomon and all the Israelite people offered the temple as a gift to the Lord.

⁶⁴ On the same day, the king gave to the Lord the yard that was in front of the temple. King Solomon offered burnt offerings and grain offerings to the Lord. He also offered the fat from the friendship offerings. The bronze altar in front of the temple was too small to contain all these offerings.^[a] So Solomon made these sacrifices in the middle of the yard instead.
