Context of 1 Kings 8:62

60That all the people of the earth may know that Yhwh is God, and that there is none else. 61Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yhwh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Yhwh. 63And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto Yhwh, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Yhwh. 64The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of Yhwh: for there he offered burnt offerings, and grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before Yhwh was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
