The two temple pillars
2 Chronicles 3:15-17
15In front of the house he made two pillars thirty and five cubits long, and the capital that was on its top was five cubits. 16He made chains in the inner sanctuary and put them on the top of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains. 17He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and one on the left; and he called the name of the right one Jachin, and the name of the left one Boaz.
15And he formed the two pillars of bronze: eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and a thread of twelve cubits went around the second pillar. 16And two capitals he made to put on the heads of the pillars, of cast bronze; five cubits was the height of the one capital, and five cubits the height of the second capital. 17There were nets, the work of network, and cords, the work of chains, for the capitals that were on the head of the pillars: seven for the one capital, and seven for the second capital. 18And he made the pillars, and two rows all around on the one net to cover the capitals that were on the head of the pomegranates; and so he made for the second capital. 19And the capitals that were on the head of the pillars were lily work in the portico, four cubits. 20And the capitals on the two pillars were also above, close to the belly that was beside the net; and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows all around on the second capital. 21And he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple; and he set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar and called its name Boaz. 22And on the head of the pillars was lily work. And the work of the pillars was finished.
16He made chains in the inner sanctuary and put them on the top of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains.
