64The same day did the king hallow the middle court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

13And if the whole assembly of Israel err and the thing be hid from the eyes of the congregation, and they have done any of all the commandments of Jehovah which should not be done, and are guilty;
14and the sin wherein they have sinned against it is become known; then the congregation shall present a young bullock for the sin offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting.
22When a ruler sinneth and through inadvertence doeth any of all the things which Jehovah his God hath commanded not to be done, and is guilty;
23if his sin wherein he hath sinned come to his knowledge, he shall bring his offering, a buck of the goats, a male without blemish.

22So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
23And they brought forth the he-goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them.
(2 Chron. 29:21‑23)
according to.Though the tribes of Benjamin and Judah, with the priests and Levites, formed the bulk of the people, yet many from the other tribes had returned with them from captivity.
 The sacrifices offered were likewise paltry compared to those offered by Solomon. Whereas Solomon offered 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep (1 Kings 8:63), at the dedication of this temple, only 100 bullocks, 200 rams and 400 lambs were offered (Ezra 6:17). Such an offering was not, however, despised by God. Of special interest are the 12 he-goats offered as a sin offering for all Israel — one for each tribe (Ezra 6:17). Despite the small representation of that nation and the presence of only those from Judah, Benjamin and Levi, all the children of Israel were recognized in that offering. (The Dedication of the House - Ezra 6:16-18 by N. Simon)
 (2 Chron. 7:5; 5:6). If they had dwelt on this aspect, their joy, as on laying the foundation, might well have been accompanied with lamentation and tears. Faith, however, has to do with unseen things, and it could thus recall to the mind of this feeble remnant that Jehovah was no less mighty and no less merciful for them than for Solomon. (The Book of Ezra: Restoration From Babylon: Ezra 6:16-22 by E. Dennett)
