The height of the one capital was five cubits, and (A)the height of the other capital was five cubits. 17 There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice[a] for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. 18 Likewise he made pomegranates[b] in two rows around the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar, and he did the same with the other capital.
