Jeremiah 52:21 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:21

And [concerning] the pillars, the height of one pillar [was]
eighteen cubits
As in ( 1 Kings 7:15 ) ; said to be thirty five, ( 2 Chronicles 3:15 ) ; of the reconciliation of which, (See Gill on 2 Chronicles 3:15): and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it;
a thread or line of that measure encompassed each of the pillars, ( 1 Kings 7:15 ) ; and the thickness thereof [was] four fingers;
either of the pillar, or the fillet about it; that is, the brass of it was four fingers thick: [it was] hollow;
that is, the pillar was hollow.

Jeremiah 52:21 In-Context

19 The commander of the guard took whatever gold or silver he could find as well: the small bowls, the fire pans, the sprinkling bowls, the pots, the lampstands, the basins, and the offering bowls.

20 There was too much bronze to be weighed: two columns, the bronze Sea and the twelve bronze bulls that held it up, and the stands, all of which Solomon had made for the LORD's temple.

21 Each column was about twenty-seven feet high and eighteen feet around. They were hollow, but the bronze was about three inches thick.

22 Each had a capital of bronze above it that towered seven and a half feet high, and each had an ornate design of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, also with pomegranates.

23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, a total of one hundred pomegranates around the ornate design.
