Boaz and Jachin



Boaz and Jachin were the name of the two pillars that stood in the porch of Solomon's Temple, the first Temple in Jerusalem (1 Kings 7:21; 2 Kings 11:14; 23:3). Boaz ("in strength") was on the left, and Jachin ("he establishes"), also spelled Jakin (יָכִין, Standard Hebrew Yaḫin, Tiberian Hebrew Yāḵîn) was on the right.
