¹⁵Huram made two bronze pillars. Each of them was 27 feet high. And each was 18 feet around. ¹⁶Each pillar had a decorated top that was made out of bronze. Each top was seven and a half feet high.

¹⁷Chains that were linked together hung down from the tops of the pillars. There were seven chains for each top. ¹⁸Huram made two rows of pomegranates. They circled the chains. The pomegranates decorated the tops of the pillars. Huram did the same thing for each pillar. ¹⁹The tops on the pillars of the porch were shaped like lilies. The lilies were 6 feet high. ²⁰On the tops of both pillars were 200 pomegranates. They were in rows all around the tops. They were above the part that was shaped like a bowl. And they were next to the chains.

²¹Huram set the pillars up at the temple porch. The pillar on the south he named Jakin. The one on the north he named Boaz. ²²The tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work on the pillars was finished.

²³Huram made a huge metal bowl for washing. Its shape was round. It measured 15 feet from rim to rim. It was seven and a half feet high. And it was 45 feet around. ²⁴Below the rim there was a circle of gourds around the bowl. In every 18 inches around the bowl there were ten gourds. The gourds were arranged in two rows. They were made as part of the bowl itself.

²⁵The huge bowl stood on 12 bulls. Three of them faced north. Three faced west. Three faced south. And three faced east. The bowl rested on top of them. Their rear ends were toward the center. ²⁶The bowl was three inches thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup. The rim was shaped like the bloom of a lily. The bowl held 11,500 gallons of water.
