Jeremiah 52:20-23

[20] The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight. [21] And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow. [22] And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates [23] And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

What does Jeremiah 52:20-23 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The bronze articles, including the12oxen that formed a base for the sea, were so heavy that their weight was beyond calculating. The hollow pillars were27 feet high, 12feet in circumference, and about three inches thick. The capitals on top of each pillar were an additional seven and a half feet tall, and each capital had200 bronze pomegranates (symbols of fertility) carved on it in two rows ( 1 Kings 7:20; 1 Kings 7:42). Since we do not know exactly what these capitals looked like, it is very difficult to understand how the writers of Jeremiah and Kings counted and explained the number of pomegranates on them.
