1 Kings 7:15-20
15 aHe cast btwo pillars of bronze. cEighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same. ▼▼Targum, Syriac (compare Septuagint and Jeremiah 52:21); Hebrew fingers. And a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of the second pillar
16He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and ethe height of the other capital was five cubits. 17There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice ▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew seven; twice in this verse
for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. 18Likewise he made pomegranates ▼▼Two manuscripts (compare Septuagint); Hebrew pillars
in two rows around the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar, and he did the same with the other capital. 19Now the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars in the vestibule were of lily-work, four cubits. 20The capitals were on the two pillars and also above the rounded projection which was beside the latticework. There were htwo hundred pomegranates in two rows all around, and so with the other capital.
