Salomo feierte in selbiger Zeit das Fest und ganz Israel mit ihm, viel Volk von der Gegend um Hamat bis zum Bach Ägypten vor dem Herrn unserm Gott sieben Tage und [nochmals] sieben Tage, [zusammen] vierzehn Tage.

“Solomon made the festival, etc.” [8:65]. Solomon consecrated the Temple, together with all of Israel, with a great multitude, for seven days and seven days, fourteen consecutive days. That is to say, seven days before Sukkot and the seven days of Sukkot.

To the Brook of Egypt. Which is opposite it, in the south, [as is delineated] in [the section entitled], “These are the travels.”40The Rabbis in Maseches Mo’ed Katan 9a, deduce from the redundancy of this phrase [“seven days and seven more days”], that one is not permitted to combine one שמחה with another, e.g., one is not allowed to celebrate a wedding on Chol Hamoed.

And seven [more] days. Of Succos.41See Maseches Mo’ed Katan 9a and Rashi there. It is found that they ate and drank on Yom Kippur.42They began to celebrate on the eighth of Tishrei and continued for the next fourteen days. Thus, the third day of the dedication was Yom Kippur, the tenth of Tishrei.
