2 Tawarikh 3:16-17

3:16 He made ornamental chains ¹  and put them on top of the pillars. He also made one hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments and arranged them within the chains. 3:17 He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right side and the other on the left. ²  He named the one on the right Jachin, ³  and the one on the left Boaz. ⁴ 

2 Tawarikh 6:12

2 Tawarikh 33:11

33:11 So the Lord brought against them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria. They seized Manasseh, put hooks in his nose, ⁵  bound him with bronze chains, and carried him away to Babylon.

[3:16]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text adds here, “in the inner sanctuary,” but the description at this point is of the pillars, not the inner sanctuary.

[3:17]  ² tn Or “one on the south and the other on the north.”

[3:17]  ³ tn The name “Jachin” appears to be a verbal form and probably means, “he establishes.”

[3:17]  ⁴ tn The meaning of the name “Boaz” is uncertain. For various proposals, see BDB 126-27 s.v. בֹּעַז. One attractive option is to revocalize the name asבְּעֹז (bÿ’oz, “in strength”) and to understand it as completing the verbal form on the first pillar. Taking the words together and reading from right to left, one can translate the sentence, “he establishes [it] in strength.”

[33:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they seized him with hooks.”
