Why were 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep and goats sacrificed at the dedication of the temple?
The numbers of animals sacrificed in that just one instance, even if possibly over a couple weeks, is staggering. Why would God require that many animals to be killed? How was this done?
1 Kings 8:63
LS1910 - 63 Salomon immola vingt-deux mille boeufs et cent vingt mille brebis pour le sacrifice d'actions de grâces qu'il offrit à l'Eternel. Ainsi le roi et tous les enfants d'Israël firent la dédicace de la maison de l'Eternel.
