1 Kings 7:15-26

15And he formed the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of brass; the heightH6967 of oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteen cubitsH520, and a lineH2339 of twelve cubitsH520 encompassed the secondH8145 pillarH5982.

16And he madeH6213 twoH8147 capitalsH3805 of molten brass, to setH5414 upon the topsH7218 of the pillarsH5982; the heightH6967 of the oneH259 capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 of the other capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520;

17[and] nets of checker-work, wreaths of chain-work, for the capitalsH3805 which were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; sevenH7651 for the oneH259 capitalH3805 and sevenH7651 for the other capitalH3805.

18And he madeH6213 pomegranatesH7416, namely twoH8147 rowsH2905 roundH5439 about upon the oneH259 networkH7639, to coverH3680 the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; and so he did for the other capitalH3805.

19And the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 were of lily-work [as] in the porchH197, fourH702 cubitsH520.

20And the capitalsH3805 upon the twoH8147 pillarsH5982, above alsoH1571, closeH5980 to the enlargement which was behind the networkH7639, had twoH8147 hundredH3967 pomegranatesH7416 in rowsH2905 roundH5439 about, [alsoH1571] on the other capitalH3805.

21And he setH6965 up the pillarsH5982 for the porchH197 of the templeH1964; and he setH6965 up the rightH3233 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 its nameH8034 Jachin; and he setH6965 up the left pillarH5982, and calledH7121 its nameH8034 BoazH1162.

22And upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 was lily-work; and the workH4399 of the pillarsH5982 was finishedH8552.

23And he madeH6213 the seaH3220, molten, tenH6235 cubitsH520 from brim to brim, roundH5439 all about; and its heightH6967 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520; and a line of thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 encompassed it roundH5439 about.

24And under the brim of it roundH5439 about there were colocynths, encompassing it, tenH6235 in a cubitH520 enclosing the seaH3220 roundH5439 about; twoH8147 rowsH2905 of colocynths, castH3332 when it was castH3332.

25It stoodH5975 upon twelve oxenH1241, threeH7969 looking toward the northH6828, and threeH7969 looking toward the westH3220, and threeH7969 looking toward the southH5045, and threeH7969 looking toward the eastH4217; and the seaH3220 was above upon them, and all their hinder partsH268 were inward.

26And its thicknessH5672 was a hand-breadth, and its brim was like the workH4639 of the brim of a cupH3563, with lily-blossoms; it heldH3557 two thousandH505 bathsH1324.
