of the pillars: and so did he for the other capital.
007:019 The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch
were of lily work, four cubits.
007:020 There were capitals above also on the two pillars,
close by the belly which was beside the network:
and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about
on the other capital.
007:021 He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple:
and he set up the right pillar, and called the name of it Jachin;
and he set up the left pillar, and called the name of it Boaz.
007:022 On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work
of the pillars finished.
007:023 He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim,
round in compass, and the height of it was five cubits;
and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
007:024 Under the brim of it round about there were buds which did
compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about:
the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
007:025 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north,
and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward
the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was
set on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.
007:026 It was a handbreadth thick: and the brim of it was worked
like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily:
it held two thousand baths.
007:027 He made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length
of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits
the height of it.
007:028 The work of the bases was on this manner: they had panels;
and there were panels between the ledges;
007:029 and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen,
and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above;
and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
007:030 Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of brass;
and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin
were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
007:031 The mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit:
and the mouth of it was round after the work of a pedestal,
a cubit and a half; and also on the mouth of it were engravings,
and their panels were foursquare, not round.
007:032 The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles
of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel
was a cubit and half a cubit.
007:033 The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel:
their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves,
were all molten.
007:034 There were four supports at the four corners of each base:
the supports of it were of the base itself.
007:035 In the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high;
