¹⁵ For the front of the Temple, he made two pillars that were 27 feet^[a] tall, each topped by a capital extending upward another 7 1⁄2 feet.

²⁰ The weight of the bronze from the two pillars, the Sea with the twelve bronze oxen beneath it, and the water carts was too great to be measured. These things had been made for the Lord’s Temple in the days of King Solomon. ²¹ Each of the pillars was 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference.^[a] They were hollow, with walls 3 inches thick.^{[b] 22} The bronze capital on top of each pillar was 7 1⁄2 feet^[c] high and was decorated with a network of bronze pomegranates all the way around. ²³ There were 96 pomegranates on the sides, and a total of 100 pomegranates on the network around the top.

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.

²³ Then Huram cast a great round basin, 15 feet across from rim to rim, called the Sea. It was 7 1⁄2 feet deep and about 45 feet in circumference.^{[e] 24} It was encircled just below its rim by two rows of decorative gourds. There were about six gourds per foot^[f] all the way around, and they were cast as part of the basin.
