<div dir="ltr">In addition to our previous discussion of how they could bring a Korban Pesach for 12 million oli I would also point out that Rambam (see <a href="http://www.mechon-mamre.org/i/9201.htm">http://www.mechon-mamre.org/i/9201.htm</a>)<div>
requires one to bring a korban reiyah (Olay), Chagiga (Shelmamim), Simchah (Shelmamin) on the first day of the chag. </div><div>While Korban Pesach applies to the family unit these korbanot apply to every male, I assume above the age of 13. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So if there were 12 million olim there were at least 6 million males (in practice I assume many came without their wives). Generously assume that 1/4 are under barmitzvah that leave 4 1/2</div><div>million Bar mitzvah age males each bringing at least one korban olah and one shelamim for at least 9 million korbanot.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The women were also required to bring the korban simchah, however from the language of Rambam it is not clear that that had to be on the first day of yomtov.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course on the first day of Pesach there was more time to bring kornbanot than erev Pesach.</div>
<div>OTOH the korban Pesach was eaten at home while the Olah was left burning on the alter meaning that over 4 million korbanot olah were sitting on the mizbeach over the course of the day.<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br>
