Sacrifices

Question

How were the priests able to facilitate thousands of sacrifices twice a day everyday with one altar?

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

Indeed, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of offerings brought daily in the Holy Temple.

As such, there were a team of Kohanim, priests, who would tend to the service.

So with a large staff, working quickly, the job was able to get done.
