1 Kings 7:18-26

¹⁸Around the lattice network he made two rows of ornamental pomegranates to cover the capitals on the top of both the columns.

¹⁹The capitals placed on top of columns in the porch were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.

²⁰On the capitals of both columns were the two hundred pomegranates in rows that encircled them, just above the rounded part that was next to the chain network.

²¹He erected the columns at the entrance porch of the Temple. The southern column he named Jachin, and the northern column he named Boaz.

²²The capitals on the columns were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the columns was finished.

²³Then he made the Sea of cast metal. Its shape was circular, and measured ten cubits from edge to edge, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.

²⁴Below the edge it was decorated with ornamental gourds that encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around. They were in two rows cast as one piece with the Sea.

²⁵The Sea stood on twelve metal bulls. Three faced to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east. The Sea was placed on them, with their rears toward the center.

²⁶It was as thick as the width of a hand, and its edge was like the flared edge of a cup or a lily flower. It held two thousand baths.
