2 Chronicles 7:7

Moreover, Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord, consecrated a section of the outer court as a temporary place for the offering of sacrifices; for there he offered burnt offerings, to atone for the sins of the people, and the fat of the peace offerings, the meat of which was used in the sacrificial meal, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, which accompanied all burnt offerings, and the fat, there was not enough room for the almost unbelievably great mass of sacrifices.
