2 Chronicles 7:7

Easy To Read Version

That yard is in front of the Lord’s temple. {\cf2\super [124]} That is the place where Solomon offered burnt offerings {\cf2\super [125]} and the fat of the fellowship offerings. Solomon used the middle of the yard because the bronze altar {\cf2\super [126]} he made could not hold all the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and fat. There were many of those offerings.
