Bible verse
Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.
1 Kings 7:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Kings 7.
17 For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.
18 Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars.
19 And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.
20 On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
21 Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.
22 And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.
23 He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
24 Below the rim, ornamental buds encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.
25 The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
