1 Kings 7:15-22

15He fashioned athe two pillars of bronze; beighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits
Lit went around the other pillar
measured the circumference of both.
16He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five
I.e. One cubit equals approx 18 in.
cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
17There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. 18So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. 19The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. 20There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the
Lit belly
rounded projection which was beside the network; and fthe pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around
Lit on the other capital
both capitals.
21 hThus he set up the pillars at the iporch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it
I.e. he shall establish
Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it
I.e. in it is strength
Boaz.
22On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.
