15. He fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference.
16. He made two capitals of molten bronze to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of each capital was five cubits.
17. Nets of checkerwork and wreaths of chainwork for the capitals were on the tops of the pillars, seven for each capital.
18. So Hiram made the pillars. There were two rows of pomegranates encircling each network to cover the capitals that were upon the top.
19. The capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work [design], four cubits.
20. The capitals were upon the two pillars and also above the rounded projection beside the network. There were 200 pomegranates in two rows round about, and so with the other capital.
21. Hiram set up the pillars of the porch of the temple; he set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin [he will establish], and he set up the left pillar and called its name Boaz [in strength].
22. On the tops of the pillars was lily work [design]. So the work of the pillars was finished.
23. He made a round molten Sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, five cubits high and thirty cubits in circumference. [Exod. 30:17-21; II Chron. 4:6.]
24. Under its brim were gourds encircling the Sea, ten to a cubit; the gourds were in two rows, cast in one piece with it.
25. It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three west, three south, and three east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their rears pointed inward.
26. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held 2,000 baths [Hebrew liquid measurement].
27. Hiram made ten bronze bases [for the lavers]; their length and breadth were four cubits, and the height three cubits.
28. This is the way the bases were made: they had panels between the ledges.
29. On the panels between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above. Beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
