Huram cast two bronze columns, each one 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference, and placed them at the entrance of the Temple.

He also made two bronze capitals, each one 7 1/2 feet tall, to be placed on top of the columns.

The two columns were identical: each one was 27 feet high and 18 feet around. They were hollow, and the metal was 3 inches thick. On top of each column was a bronze capital 7 1/2 feet high, and all around it was a grillwork decorated with pomegranates, all of which was also made of bronze.

On the grillwork of each column there were a hundred pomegranates in all, and ninety-six of these were visible from the ground.
