1 Kings 7:15-22
New Living Translation
15 Huram cast two bronze pillars, each 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference.[a] 16 For the tops of the pillars he cast bronze capitals, each 7 1⁄2 feet[b] tall. 17 Each capital was decorated with seven sets of latticework and interwoven chains. 18 He also encircled the latticework with two rows of pomegranates to decorate the capitals over the pillars. 19 The capitals on the columns inside the entry room were shaped like water lilies, and they were six feet[c] tall. 20 The capitals on the two pillars had 200 pomegranates in two rows around them, beside the rounded surface next to the latticework. 21 Huram set the pillars at the entrance of the Temple, one toward the south and one toward the north. He named the one on the south Jakin, and the one on the north Boaz.[d] 22 The capitals on the pillars were shaped like water lilies. And so the work on the pillars was finished.
