2 Chronicles 3:15-17
15 aIn front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high, with a capital of five cubits on the top of each. 16He made chains like a necklace ▼▼Hebrew chains in the inner sanctuary
and put them on the tops of the pillars, and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains. 17 cHe set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south, the other on the north; that on the south he called Jachin, and that on the north Boaz. 2 Chronicles 4:1-3
The Temple’s Furnishings
1He made dan altar of bronze, twenty cubits ▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. 2 fThen he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 3Under it were figures of gourds, ▼▼Compare 1 Kings 7:24; Hebrew oxen; twice in this verse
for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast.
