17For the capitalsH3805 onH5921 topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 he madeH4639 a networkH7639 of latticeH7639, with wreathsH1434 ofH4639 chainworkH8333, sevenH7651 forH259 each capitalH3805.1

18Likewise, he madeH6213 the pillarsH5982 with twoH8147 rowsH2905 of pomegranatesH7416 aroundH5439H5921 each gratingH7639 to coverH3680 each capitalH3805 atopH5921H7218 the pillars. 19And the capitalsH3805 atopH5921H7218 the pillarsH5982 in the porticoH197 were shapedH4639 like liliesH7799, fourH702 cubitsH520 high.2 20OnH5921 the capitalsH3805 of bothH8147 pillarsH5982, justH5980 aboveH4605 the rounded projectionH990 next toH5676 the networkH7639, were the two hundredH3967 pomegranatesH7416 in rowsH2905 encirclingH5439H5921 each capitalH3805H8145.

21Thus he set upH6965 the pillarsH5982 at the porticoH197 of the templeH1964. The pillarH5982 to the southH3233 he namedH7121 JachinH3199,3 and the pillarH5982 to the northH8042 he namedH7121 BoazH1162.4 22AndH5921 the topsH7218 of the pillarsH5982 were shapedH4639 like liliesH7799. So the workH4399 of the pillarsH5982 was completedH8552.
