19. Now the heads that were at the top of the columns, in the portico of four cubits, had been fabricated with a work of lilies.
20. And again, there were other heads at the tops of the columns above, in accord with the measure of the column opposite the netting. And there were two hundred of the pomegranates, in rows around the second head.
21. And he stationed the two columns in the portico of the temple. And when he had stationed the column on the right, he called its name Jachin. Similarly, he erected the second column, and he called its name Boaz.
22. And above the tops of the columns, he set a work in the manner of lilies. And the work of the columns was perfected.
23. He also made a molten sea, of ten cubits from brim to brim, rounded on all sides. Its height was five cubits, and a thin rope of thirty cubits wrapped it all around.
24. And a sculpted work under the brim encircled it for ten cubits going around the sea. There were two rows cast of striated sculptures.
25. And it was standing upon twelve oxen, of which three were looking toward the north, and three toward the west, and three toward the south, and three toward the east. And the sea above was over them. And their posteriors were entirely hidden within.
26. And the basin was the thickness of three twelfths. And its brim was like the brim of a chalice, or like the outturned petal of a lily. It contained two thousand baths.
27. And he made ten bases of brass: each base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in width, and three cubits in height.
28. And the work itself of the bases was engraved; and there were sculptures between the junctures.
29. And between the little crowns and the edges, there were lions, and oxen, and cherubim; and similarly in the junctures above. And under the lions and oxen were something like bands of brass hanging down.
30. And each base had four wheels, with axels of brass. And at the four sides were something like little arms, under the cast basin, facing away from one another.
