The Bronze Pillars

¹⁵ He cast two bronze pillars,^(A) each 27 feet^[a] high and 18 feet^[b] in circumference.^{[c](B) 16} He also made two capitals^(C) of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars; 7½ feet^[d] was the height of the first capital, and 7½ feet was also the height of the second capital. ¹⁷ The capitals on top of the pillars had gratings of latticework, wreaths^[e] made of chainwork—seven for the first capital and seven for the second.

¹⁸ He made the pillars with two encircling rows of pomegranates on the one grating to cover the capital on top; he did the same for the second capital. ¹⁹ And the capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, six feet^[f] high. ²⁰ The capitals on the two pillars were also immediately above the rounded surface next to the grating, and two hundred pomegranates^(D) were in rows encircling each^[g] capital. ²¹ He set up the pillars at the portico^(E) of the sanctuary: he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin;^[h] then he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz.^{[i](F) 22} The tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. Then the work of the pillars was completed.^(G)

¹⁷ One pillar was twenty-seven feet^[a] tall and had a bronze capital on top of it. The capital, encircled by a grating and pomegranates of bronze, stood five feet^[b] high. The second pillar was the same, with its own grating.^(A)

²¹ One pillar was 27 feet^[a] tall, had a circumference of 18 feet,^[b] was hollow—four fingers thick— ²² and had a bronze capital on top of it.^(A) One capital, encircled by bronze grating and pomegranates, stood 7½ feet^[c] high. The second pillar was the same, with pomegranates. ²³ Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates all around it. All the pomegranates around the grating numbered one hundred.
