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.
