2 Chronicles 3:15
v. 15: Two tall pillars, called Jachin and Boaz, were set up in front of the temple (2 Chronicles 3:15; 1 Kings 7:15-22 a). These pillars symbolized strength and stability in God’s house and in the work done for Him. Each pillar was thirty-five cubits high with a five-cubit capital on top. Chains like those in the inner sanctuary were placed on the pillar tops, and a hundred pomegranates hung on the chains. The names Jachin and Boaz mean “establishment” and “strength,” representing the stability and strength that comes from God’s presence in the temple (2 Chronicles 3:15–17 b).
