2 Chronicles 3:17 meaning and explanation
Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
2 Chronicles 3:17, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Solomon is building the temple in Jerusalem, and here he finishes the two free standing bronze pillars at its entrance, one to the south and one to the north. The Chronicler gives their names: Jachin, probably meaning "he establishes," and Boaz, probably meaning "in him is strength." The names are not titles for God but short confessions placed at the doorway, so that everyone entering passed between them.
