Tak obchodził Salomon w on czas tę uroczystość, a wraz z nim wszystek Izrael - zgromadzenie wielkie, począwszy od okolicy prowadzącej do Chamat, aż do potoku egipskiego - przed obliczem Wiekuistego, Boga naszego, przez siedm dni i siedm dni, czyli przez dni czternaście.

“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.

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.
Rashi
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.
