Louis Segond

1 Rois 8:64

En ce jour, le roi consacra le milieu du parvis, qui est devant la maison de l'Eternel; car il offrit là les holocaustes, les offrandes, et les graisses des sacrifices d'actions de grâces, parce que l'autel d'airain qui est devant l'Eternel était trop petit pour contenir les holocaustes, les offrandes, et les graisses des sacrifices d'actions de grâces.

En ce jour-l, le roi consacra le milieu du parvis, devant la maison de l'ternel; car il offrit l les holocaustes et les offrandes, et les graisses des sacrifices de prosprits; parce que l'autel d'airain qui est devant l'ternel, tait trop petit pour contenir les holocaustes et les offrandes, et les graisses des sacrifices de prosprits.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord,.... The court of the priests that was before the holy place, adjoining to it, in which was the altar of burnt offering; this, or, however, the middle part of it, he sanctified for present use, to offer sacrifices on, for a reason hereafter given:

for there he offered burnt offerings and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings; which was the reason why the middle of the great court was for this time set apart for this service.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The middle of the court - Or, “the whole area of the court “ - all the “mid” space within the enclosing walls, which thus became one huge altar, on any part of which victims might be offered at one and the same time.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 64. Did the king hallow the middle of the court — The great altar of burnt-offerings was not sufficient for the number of sacrifices which were then made; therefore the middle of the court was set apart, and an altar erected there for the same purpose.
