²¹ Now concerning the ^(A)pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen ^[a]cubits, a measuring line of twelve cubits could measure its circumference, and its thickness was ^[b]four fingers; it was hollow.

^17 (A)The height of one pillar was ^[a]eighteen cubits, and the capital on it was of bronze. The height of the capital was three cubits, and the network and pomegranates all around the capital were all of bronze. The second pillar was the same, with a network.

¹⁵ Also he made in front of the ^[a]temple ^(A)two pillars ^[b]thirty-five cubits ^[c]high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. ¹⁶ He made wreaths of chainwork, as in the inner sanctuary, and put them on top of the pillars; and he made ^(B)one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the wreaths of chainwork. ¹⁷ Then he ^(C)set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; he called the name of the one on the right hand ^[d]Jachin, and the name of the one on the left ^[e]Boaz.

The Bronze Pillars for the Temple^(A)

¹⁵ And he ^[a]cast ^(B)two pillars of bronze, each one eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each. ¹⁶ Then 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. ¹⁷ He 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. ¹⁸ So 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.

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

^21 (D)Then he set up the pillars by the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the right and called its name ^[b]Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name ^[c]Boaz.
