Maybe that the rule is [only] that we should not [deliberately keep a marriage] for the time of a festival,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Even as we find that Solomon did not keep back the consecration.');"><sup>6</sup></span> but where it so turns out to be [opportune], we might as well hold it then? - [If so], Solomon should have left some small part [unfinished].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To be completed just before the festival so that the consecration be held on the festival. As reported, Solomon's Temple had been completed some time before. V. I Kings, VII, 51 - VIII, 1 and II Chron. V, 1-3,');"><sup>7</sup></span>
Rashi on I Kings
For Dovid His servant. To make known that He forgave them their sins, as we find in [Maseches] Mo’ed Katan.43 9a. When Shlomo wished to bring the Ark into the Holy of Holies, the gates clung to one another.
