I Kings 7:40 Halakhah: Mishneh Torah, Prayer and the Priestly Blessing & Abudarham

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ חִיר֔וֹם אֶת־הַ֨כִּיֹּר֔וֹת וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֖ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְרָק֑וֹת וַיְכַ֣ל חִירָ֗ם לַֽעֲשׂוֹת֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַמְּלָאכָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֛ה לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

And Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the LORD:

Mishneh Torah, Prayer and the Priestly Blessing

On the first day of the Feast of Dedication, the section read is that containing the Priestly Benediction and continuing till the end of the section referring to the offering on the first day of the Dedication of the Tabernacle (Numbers 6:22-7:17). On the second day, the section read is that referring to the offering of the prince who brought his offering on the second day of that Dedication (ibid. 7:18-23). And so on till the eighth day, the section read is that referring to the offering on the eighth day of the Dedication of the Tabernacle up to the end of the summary of the offerings and continuing till the end of the weekly portion (ibid. 7:54-89).*Ashkenazi practice is to add ibid. 8:1-4. On Sabbath, the lesson from the Prophets is Zechariah's Vision of the Candelabrum (Zechariah 2:14-4:7). If there are two Sabbaths in the feast of Dedication, Zechariah's Vision of the Candelabrum is the lesson from the Prophets on the first Sabbath; and, on the second Sabbath, the account of the Candelabra in Solomon's Temple (I Kings 7:40-50) is read. The person who reads in the scroll the special section for the feast of Dedication reads the lesson from the Prophets. On the Feast of Lots, the section beginning, "And Amalek came" (Exodus 17:8-16) is read in the morning service.
