Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7:9

Theological / Devotional

The eighth day. The eight day from the beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles, in harmony with Lev. 23:36, 39, was the 22d day of the 7th month (see on v. 10).

Seven days, … seven days. If the 7 days of dedication lasted from the 10th to the 16th of the 7th month, inclusive, and if the observance of the feast for 7 more days ran from the 16th to the 22d (see 1 Kings 8:65), then the “eighth” day, following the second 7-day period, would be the 23d (see on v. 10).
