In context

14He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it. 15In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits. 16He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork. 17Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
