En hij maakte aan elk kapiteel twee rijen granaatappelen, rondom aan het kranswerk, waarmede de kapitelen bedekt werden.
Zo maakte hij de pilaren, mitsgaders twee rijen rondom over het ene net, om de kapitelen, die boven het hoofd der granaatappelen waren, te bedekken; alzo deed hij ook aan het andere kapiteel.

Exodus 28:14, Exodus 28:22, Exodus 28:24, Exodus 28:25, Exodus 39:15-18, 2 Kings 25:17
Reciprocal: Exodus 28:33 - pomegranates 1 Kings 7:41 - two networks
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he made the pillars,.... Or adorned them in this manner:
and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates; that is, there were two rows of figures like pomegranates upon the net or branch work that covered the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars; and Kimchi owns, that some copies so read, on the top of the pillars, instead of pomegranates, though he thinks it a mistake:
and so did he for the other chapiter; put two rows about that also.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The pomegranate was one of the most common ornaments in Assyria. It was used on quivers, on spear-shafts, and maceheads, in patterns on doorways and pavements, etc. It is doubtful whether a symbolic meaning was attached to it, or whether it was merely selected as a beautiful natural form.
