1 Kings 7:21-23

21Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin,1 and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.2 22And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.

23He 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.3
