1 Kings 7:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 And he set up the pillars in the [a]porch of the Temple. And when he had set up the right pillar, he called the name thereof [b]Jachin: and when he had set up the left pillar, he called the name thereof [c]Boaz.
22 And upon the top of the pillars was work of lilies: so was the workmanship of the pillars finished.
23 ¶ And he made a molten [d]sea of ten cubits wide from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits did compass it about.
