Jeremiah 52:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:22

And a chapiter of brass [was] upon it
Or a coronet of brass, of molten brass, was set upon the top of the pillar: and the height of one chapiter [was] five cubits;
as in ( 1 Kings 7:16 ) ; but in ( 2 Kings 25:17 ) ; the height is said to be but three cubits; which is reconciled by the Jewish Rabbins thus, the three superior cubits of it were with ornaments, the two inferior without any; the whole together was five cubits; but, as ornamented, only three: with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all [of]
brass;
the nets were of chequer work, and wreaths of chain work, and there were seven of them to each chapiter, ( 1 Kings 7:17 ) ; the second pillar also, and the pomegranates, [were] like unto these;
one pillar was exactly like the other, and the ornaments of it the same.

21 And as for the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and twelve cubits measured all round, and it was as thick as a man's hand: it was hollow.

22 And there was a crown of brass on it: the crown was five cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.

23 There were ninety-six apples on the outside; the number of apples all round the network was a hundred.

24 And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
