- 祭司侍立、各供其職.利未人也拿著耶和華的樂器、就是大衛王造出來、藉利未人頌讚耶和華的.(他的慈愛永遠長存)祭司在眾人面前吹號.以色列人都站立。
- 所羅門因他所造的銅壇、容不下燔祭、素祭和脂油、便將耶和華殿前院子當中分別為聖、在那裡獻燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油。
- 那時所羅門和以色列眾人、就是從哈馬口直到埃及小河所有的以色列人、都聚集、成為大會、守節七日。
- 第八日設立嚴肅會.行奉獻壇的禮七日、守節七日。
- 七月二十三日、王遣散眾民.他們因見耶和華向大衛和所羅門與他民以色列所施的恩惠、就都心中喜樂、各歸各家去了。

- The priests took their positions, as did the Levites with the LORD's musical instruments, which King David had made for praising the LORD and which were used when he gave thanks, saying, "His love endures forever." Opposite the Levites, the priests blew their trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
- Solomon consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the LORD, and there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar he had made could not hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat portions.
- So Solomon observed the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him--a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt.
- On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the festival for seven days more.
- On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their homes, joyful and glad in heart for the good things the LORD had done for David and Solomon and for his people Israel.
