16. He also made two bronze capitals, each one 2.2 metres tall, to be placed on top of the columns.

17. The top of each column was decorated with a design of interwoven chains,

18. and two rows of bronze pomegranates.

19. The capitals were shaped like lilies, 1.8 metres tall,

20. and were placed on a rounded section which was above the chain design. There were 200 pomegranates in two rows round each capital.

21. Huram placed these two bronze columns in front of the entrance of the Temple: the one on the south side was named Jachin, and the one on the north was named Boaz.

22. The lily-shaped bronze capitals were on top of the columns.And so the work on the columns was completed.

23. Huram made a round tank of bronze, 2.2 metres deep, 4.4 metres in diameter, and 13.2 metres in circumference.

24. All round the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of bronze gourds, which had been cast all in one piece with the rest of the tank.
