20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under (a)the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—the bronze of all these vessels was (A)beyond weight. 21 As for the pillars, the (B)height of each pillar was eighteen (b)cubits, and (c)it was twelve cubits in (C)circumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow. 22 Now a (D)capital of bronze was on it; and the height of each capital was five cubits, with network and (E)pomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates. 23 There were ninety-six (d)exposed pomegranates; all (F)the pomegranates numbered a hundred on the network all around.
