What the Babylonians Took From the Temple

The Babylonians broke up the bronze pillars,
the moveable stands and the bronze Sea
that were at the temple of the Lord
and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
They also took away
the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes
and all the bronze articles used in the temple service.
The commander of the imperial guard took away
the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands,
dishes and bowls used for drink offerings -
all that were made of pure gold or silver.

The bronze from the two pillars,
the Sea and the twelve bronze bulls under it,
and the moveable stands,
which King Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord,
was more than could be weighed.
Each of the pillars was eighteen cubits high
and twelve cubits in circumference;
each was four fingers thick, and hollow.
The bronze capital on top of the one pillar
was five cubits high
and was decorated with
a network and pomegranates of bronze all around.
The other pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar.
There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides;
the total number of pomegranates
above the surrounding network
was a hundred.

(Jeremiah 52:17-23)
