Jachin Boaz<\/em> ] These words are evidently given as proper names, and the LXX. transliterates them here, but translates them in the parallel passage of 2 Chronicles (1Ki 3:17<\/span>) by and . Both words are significant. The first is a verb (see Job 27:17<\/span>) signifying ‘he will prepare, or, establish,’ the second = ‘in him is strength.’ If they be interpreted they are both to be referred to God. Some have wished by a slight alteration of the Hebrew points in the latter word to combine the two into one sentence meaning ‘he will establish by strength.’ But it is not likely that a sentence would be thus split up to make two names.<\/p>\n The Septuagint in the parallel passage (margin reference), translate Jachin and Boaz by <\/SPAN><\/span> Katorthosis<\/I> and <\/SPAN><\/span> Ischus<\/I> – Direction and Strength. The literal meaning of the names is given in the margin. The meaning was probably God will establish in strength (i. e. firmly) the temple and the religion connected with it.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 21<\/span>. The right pillar – Jachin<\/B><\/I>] is, He shall establish<\/I>. The left pillar – Boaz<\/I>, that is, in strength<\/I>. These were no doubt emblematical; for notwithstanding their names<\/I>, they seem to have supported no part of the building.<\/P> <\/p>\n In the porch of the temple; <\/B>where they were placed for mere ornament and magnificence, for they supported nothing. <\/P> Jachin<\/B> signifies he<\/I>, i.e. God, shall establish<\/I>, to wit, his temple, and church, and people; and <\/P> Boaz<\/B> signifies in it<\/I>, or rather, in him<\/I>, (to answer the he<\/I> in the former name,) is strength<\/I>. So these pillars being eminently strong and stable, were in a manner types or documents of that strength which was in God, and would be put forth by God for the defending and establishing of his temple and people, if they were careful to keep the conditions required by God on their parts. <\/P> <\/p>\n 21. Jachin and . . . Boaz<\/B>Thesenames were symbolical, and indicated the strength and stabilitynotso much of the material temple, for they were destroyed along with it(Jer 52:17<\/span>), as of thespiritual kingdom of God, which was embodied in the temple.<\/P><\/p>\n And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple<\/strong>,…. Not at the door or entrance into the temple, as Jarchi, but at the entrance into the porch:<\/p>\n and he set up the right pillar<\/strong>; or the pillar on the right hand as you went in, which was on the north, the front being east:<\/p>\n and called the name thereof Jachin<\/strong>; which signifies “he will establish”, i.e. the house to which here was an entrance, so long as the pure worship of God should continue in it:<\/p>\n and he set up the left pillar<\/strong>; or the pillar on the left hand, which was to the south, unless the position of them was as you come out:<\/p>\n and called the name thereof Boaz<\/strong>; which signifies “in him”, or “it is strength”, namely, in the Lord that dwelt there; for this has no respect to Boaz, a prince of the house of Judah, from whom all its kings sprung, as the Targum, in 2Ch 3:17<\/span> suggests. These names were given them not by Hiram the artificer, but by Solomon, and which were very expressive; not so much of the nobility of the kingdom of the house of David, as the Targum intimates; or of the church of God, the pillar and ground of truth; as of Christ himself, and the two natures in him, and of his royal dignity, signified by the crowns or chapiters on them, decorated as they were, whose legs are as pillars of marble, and in whom are righteousness and strength; which is no small encouragement to those who are entering into the church of God the temple was a type of; who, should they fear, being feeble and weak, that they should totter and fall, here stands Jachin, to let them know the Lord will establish and settle them; or that they should never hold out to the end, here is Boaz to direct them to Christ, in whom their strength lies, see So 4:15<\/span>. Allusion is had to these, Re 3:12<\/span>.<\/p>\n 21<\/strong>. <\/strong> The right pillar <\/strong> The one standing at the right hand of a person who stood in the porch looking out; that is, on the south side of the entrance.<\/p>\n Jachin <\/strong> , he will establish; <\/em> or, an establisher. <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Boaz <\/strong> , firmness; strength; stability. <\/em> These pillars were symbolical, and their names indicate that the temple was built both for the establishment <\/em> and stability <\/em> of the true worship of Jehovah.<\/p>\n 1Ki 7:21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.<\/p>\n Ver. 21. And he set up the pillars in the porch.<\/strong> ] For within the temple was nothing but golden. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And called the name thereof Jachin.<\/strong> ] As the other he called Boaz; showing not only by the matter – brass – but by the names of these pillars, what steadfastness the elect stand in before God, both for present and future. For present, they have strength in themselves – Boaz, i.e., <\/em> in it is strength; for future, God will so direct and establish them with his grace – Jachin, i.e., <\/em> he shall direct, or establish that they shall never wholly depart from him. “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out.” Rev 3:12 <\/p>\n in the porch = for the porch. <\/p>\n Jachin = He (God) will establish. Referring to His<\/p>\n Boaz = In Him (God) is strength, People Israel. <\/p>\n Jachin i.e. He shall establish. <\/p>\n Boaz i.e. in it is strength. <\/p>\n And he set: 2Ch 3:17, Gal 2:9, Rev 3:12 <\/p>\n the porch: 1Ki 7:12, 1Ki 6:3, Eze 40:48, Eze 40:49 <\/p>\n Jachin: 2Sa 7:12, Isa 9:7 <\/p>\n Boaz: Rth 4:21, Isa 45:24, Mat 16:18 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 26:12 – Jachin Rth 2:19 – Boaz 1Ki 7:15 – two pillars Pro 9:1 – pillars<\/p>\n 1Ki 7:21. He set up the pillars in the porch Where they were placed for mere ornament and magnificence, for they supported nothing. Called the name thereof Jachin Which signifies, He, that is, God, shall establish, his temple, and church, and people: and Boaz signifies, in it, or rather, in him (to answer the he in the former name) is strength. So these pillars, being eminently strong and stable, were types of that strength which was in God, and would be put forth by God for the defending and establishing of his temple and people, if they were careful to observe the conditions required by him on their parts.<\/p>\n 7:21 And he set up the pillars in the {l} porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof {m} Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof {n} Boaz.<\/p>\n (l) Which was in the inner court between the temple and the oracle.<\/p>\n (m) That is, he will stablish, that is, his promise toward this house.<\/p>\n (n) That is, in strength: meaning the power of it will continue.<\/p>\n And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz. 21.
