It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length, and a span its width.

They shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side,.... Or, "to the wind" (e); to the four winds; towards every corner or wind twenty four, which make up ninety six:
and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about; four, standing upon the four angles, made the ninety six a hundred; in Kg1 7:20; they are said to be two hundred; and in Ch2 4:13; are said to be four hundred upon the two wreaths; which may be accounted for thus, there were two rows of them on each pillar, in every row were a hundred, which made two hundred in one pillar, and four hundred in both. These were the things in the temple carried away in the last captivity.

five cubits--so Kg1 7:16. But Kg2 25:17 has "three cubits." There were two parts in the chapiter: the one lower and plain, of two cubits; the other, higher and curiously carved, of three cubits. The former is omitted in Kg2 25:17, as belonging to the shaft of the pillar; the latter alone is there mentioned. Here the whole chapiter of five cubits is referred to.

five cubits] From this, which agrees with 1Ki_7:16, we must correct the “three cubits” of 2Ki_25:17, unless we take the smaller number to denote the actual measurement of the network of the chapiter, excluding the pomegranates.
