He made the two bronze columns, each one thirty-one-and-a-half feet high and twenty-one feet in circumference.
16
He made two capitals of melted bronze to set on the tops of the columns; each capital was eight-and-three-quarters feet high;
17
he also made checker-work nets and chained wreaths, seven for the top of each capital.
18
When he made the columns, he made two rows of pomegranates to put at the top of each column around the netting covering its capital.
19
The capitals on the columns in the hall had shapes like lilies and were seven feet high.
20
As for the capitals on the two columns, there were 200 pomegranates in rows around each capital near the molding by the netting.
21
He erected the columns in the hall of the temple; on erecting the right column he gave it the name "Yakhin," and on erecting the left column he named it "Bo'az."
22
On the tops of the columns were shapes like lilies; thus the work of the columns was finished.
23
He made the cast metal "Sea" circular, seventeen-and-a-half feet from rim to rim, eight-and-three quarter feet high and fifty-two-and-a-half feet in circumference.
24
Under its rim, three hundred gourds encircled it in two rows; they were cast when the Sea was cast.
25
It rested on twelve oxen, three looking north, three looking west, three looking south and three looking east, all with their hindquarters toward the center. The Sea was set on top of them.
