歷代志下3:15-17

 

3:15 在殿前造了兩根柱子，高三十五肘；每柱頂高五肘。
3:16 又照聖所內鍊子的樣式做鍊子，安在柱頂上；又做一百石榴，安在鍊子上。
3:17 將兩根柱子立在殿前，一根在右邊，一根在左邊；右邊的起名叫雅斤，左邊的起名叫波阿斯。

 

¹⁵ For the front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits long, each with a capital five cubits high. ¹⁶ He made interwoven chain and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains. ¹⁷ He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.

    「雅斤」的意思是「他將建立」；「波阿斯」的意思是「敏捷、快速奔跑的能力」。聖殿的兩隻柱子用這樣的名稱，就是要見證上帝的大能大力！我們信靠的上帝是建立者與敏捷者，凡事都在祂的旨意中進行，使信靠祂的人十分安穩、十分平安！
