21. Hiram placed the two columns on each side of the main door of the temple. The column on the south side was called Jachin, and the one on the north was called Boaz.
22. The lily-shaped caps were on top of the columns.This completed the work on the columns.
23. Hiram also made a large bowl called the Sea. It was just over two metres deep, about four and a half metres across, and thirteen and a half metres around.
24. Two rows of bronze gourds were around the outer edge of the bowl, ten gourds to about every forty-five centimetres.
25. The bowl itself sat on top of twelve bronze bulls with three bulls facing outwards in each of four directions.
26. The sides of the bowl were seventy-five millimetres thick, and its rim was like a cup that curved outwards like flower petals. The bowl held about forty thousand litres.
27. Hiram made ten moveable bronze stands, each one over a metre high, almost two metres long, and almost two metres wide.
28-29. The sides were made with panels attached to frames decorated with flower designs. The panels themselves were decorated with figures of lions, bulls, and winged creatures.
30-31. Each stand had four bronze wheels and axles and a round frame sixty-eight centimetres across, held up by four supports forty-five centimetres high. A small bowl rested in the frame. The supports were decorated with flower designs, and the frame with carvings.The side panels of the stands were square,
32. and the wheels and axles were underneath them. The wheels were about sixty-eight centimetres high
33. and looked like chariot wheels. The axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were made out of bronze.
34-35. Around the top of each stand was a twenty-two-centimetre strip, and there were four braces attached to the corners of each stand. The panels and the supports were attached to the stands,
36. and the stands were decorated with flower designs and figures of lions, palm trees, and winged creatures.
