This did not take place, according to Abp. Usher, till the
year after the temple was finished, because that year was a
jubilee. "The 8th day of the 7th month, viz. the 30th of our
October, being Friday, was the first of the seven days of
dedication; the 10th day, Saturday, November 1, the fast of
expiation or atonement was held; whereon, according to the
Levitical law, the jubilee was proclaimed by sound of trumpet.
The 15th day, Friday, was the feast of tabernacles, which was
always very solemnly kept; and the day following, Nov. 14,
being our Saturday, when the Sabbath was ended, the people
returned home."
