the shovels j and the extinguishers
k and the bowls l and the cups

took. m 19 And the basins n and
the fire holders and the bowls o

second pillar had just the same
as these, also the pomegranates.
c 23 And the pomegranates
came to be ninety-six, on the
sides, all the pomegranates being
one hundred upon the network

the chief priest and Zeph·a·niah f
