מלכים א, פרק ח׳, פסוק ס״ב

Immediately after the prayer concluded, the focus shifted to a shared act of worship [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. This was a deeply communal moment, as King Solomon and the entire nation actively participated together in bringing the sacrifices [אברבנאל, צאינה וראינה]. These offerings were brought specifically to dedicate the altar. The sheer scale of the event was massive, consisting of twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred twenty thousand sheep [צאינה וראינה].
