1 Kings 7:15–26

¹⁵He made two bronze pillars. Each was 27 feet high and 18 feet in circumference. ¹⁶He made two capitals of cast bronze to put on top of the pillars. Each capital was 7½ feet high. ¹⁷He also made seven rows of filigree and chains for each capital. ¹⁸After he made the pillars, he made two rows ⸤of decorations⸥ around the filigree to cover the capitals which were above the pillars.^cHe made the capitals identical to each other. ¹⁹The capitals on top of the pillars in the entrance hall were lily-shaped. ⸤Each⸥ was six feet high. ²⁰Two hundred pomegranates in rows were directly above the bowl-shaped parts around the filigree on the capitals on both pillars. 

²¹Hiram set up the pillars in the temple’s entrance hall. He set up the pillar on the right and named it Jachin ^[He Establishes^[. Then he set up the pillar on the left and named it Boaz ^[In Him Is Strength^[. ²²There were lily-shaped capitals at the top of the pillars. He finished the work on the pillars. 

²³Hiram made a pool from cast metal. It was 15 feet in diameter. It was round, 7½ feet high, and had a circumference of 45 feet. ²⁴Under the rim were two rows of gourds all around the 45-foot circumference of the pool. They were cast in metal when the pool was cast. ²⁵The pool was set on 12 metal bulls. Three bulls faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east. The pool was set on them, and their hindquarters were toward the center ⸤of the pool⸥. ²⁶The pool was three inches thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup, shaped like a lily’s bud. It held 12,000 gallons.
