1 Kings 7:15–21

The Bronze Pillars for the Temple

¹⁵And he ⁵cast ⁱtwo pillars of bronze, each one eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each. ¹⁶Then he made two capitals of cast bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits. ¹⁷He made a lattice network, with wreaths of chainwork, for the capitals which were on top of the pillars: seven chains for one capital and seven for the other capital. ¹⁸So he made the pillars, and two rows of pomegranates above the network all around to cover the capitals that were on top; and thus he did for the other capital.

¹⁹The capitals which were on top of the pillars in the hall were in the shape of lilies, four cubits. ²⁰The capitals on the two pillars also had pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the network; and there were ^jtwo hundred such pomegranates in rows on each of the capitals all around.

^21kThen he set up the pillars by the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the right and called its name ⁶Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name ⁷Boaz.
