Jeremiah 52:20-22
Easy-to-Read Version
20 The two pillars, the Sea and the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the moveable stands were very heavy. King Solomon had made those things for the Lord’s Temple. The bronze that those things were made of was so heavy it could not be weighed.
21 Each of the bronze pillars was 31 feet[a] tall. Each pillar was almost 21 feet[b] around. Each pillar was hollow. The wall of each pillar was 3 inches[c] thick. 22 The bronze capital on top of the first pillar was over 5 feet[d] tall. It was decorated with a net design and bronze pomegranates all around it. The other pillar had pomegranates too. It was like the first pillar.
