This did not take place, according to Abp. Usher, till the
year after the temple was finished, because that year was a
jubilee. "The 8th day of the 7th month, viz. the 30th of our
October, being Friday, was the first of the seven days of
dedication; the 10th day, Saturday, November 1, the fast of
expiation or atonement was held; whereon, according to the
Levitical law, the jubilee was proclaimed by sound of trumpet.
The 15th day, Friday, was the feast of tabernacles, which was
always very solemnly kept; and the day following, Nov. 14,
being our Saturday, when the Sabbath was ended, the people
returned home."

VERSE 46
- If they sin.
The second clause of this verse, as it is here translated,
renders this supposition entirely nugatory; for if there be no
man that sinneth not, it is useless to say, if they sin: but
this objection is removed by rendering the original, "If they
shall sin against thee, (for there is no man that, {lo
yechetai,} may not sin;") i.e., there is no man impeccable or
infallible; none that is not liable to transgress.
- there is no man.

We are not to suppose that all these victims were sacrificed
in one day, or on one altar; for this was the whole amount of
those that had been offered during the fourteen days which the
feast of dedication and the feast of tabernacles lasted; and
