And Solomon Named the Pillars

I thought this was an interesting facet of the chapter. In the last verse of chapter three, which is about Solomon building the temple, it says "Then he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; he called the name of the one on the right hand Jachin and the name of the one on the left Boaz."

Hmmmm . . .

Well, Jachin means whom God strengthens. (Makes sense for that to be the name of a pillar.)

And Boaz means fleetness. (And fleetness . . . for those of you—like me—who have never heard that word before . . . means "fast and nimble in movement." Thank you dock dictionary!)
