"And then King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep; so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God"

Surely this is a rounding error? That's a LOT of damn sheep. What does God need that many dead sheep for?

Well Solomon needed to know. So he could tell someone to write it down. So 3000 years later I could be like "whoa, that's a ****ing LOT of sheep, Solomon was NOT screwing around!"

I'm not sure if that's 120000 (I'm assuming it's this) or 20100, but either way that's still a f***load of sheep.

Also, what about the oxen? What a waste! That's enough oxen to get like four thousand families to Oregon!

Typically all the sacrificed meat was eaten if I recall correctly.

So it was probably a massive, massive, wasteful party.

Depended on the type of sacrifice.

Well if you get to eat it, it's not REALLY a sacrifice, now is it?

The Levites and priests(descendants of Aaron) got to eat it. That was their food, and their compensation for having no property.
