¹⁵He made two bronze pillars, each one twenty-seven feet tall and eighteen feet around. ¹⁶He also made two bronze capitals that were seven and one-half feet tall, and he put them on top of the pillars. ¹⁷Then he made a net of seven chains for each capital, which covered the capitals on top of the two pillars. ¹⁸He made two rows of bronze pomegranates to go on the nets. These covered the capitals at the top of the pillars. ¹⁹The capitals on top of the pillars in the porch were shaped like lilies, and they were six feet tall. ²⁰The capitals were on top of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped section and next to the nets. At that place there were two hundred pomegranates in rows all around the capitals. ²¹Huram put these two bronze pillars at the porch of the Temple. He named the south pillar He Establishes and the north pillar In Him Is Strength. ²²The capitals on top of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work on the pillars was finished.

²³Then Huram made from bronze a large round bowl, which was called the Sea. It was forty-five feet around, fifteen feet across, and seven and one-half feet deep. ²⁴Around the outer edge of the bowl was a rim. Under this rim were two rows of bronze plants which surrounded the bowl. There were ten plants every eighteen inches, and these plants were made in one piece with the bowl. ²⁵The bowl rested on the backs of twelve bronze bulls that faced outward from the center of the bowl. Three bulls faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east. ²⁶The sides of the bowl were four inches thick, and it held about eleven thousand gallons. The rim of the bowl was like the rim of a cup or like a lily blossom.
