13There was a man who lived in Tyre city whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram's father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come to Jerusalem and supervise all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
15He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
16He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
17Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
18He also made bronze figures that resembled pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
19The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each lily leaf was six feet tall.
20These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 figures that represented pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
