SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:21
Estas columnas puso enhiestas en el portal del templo. Y cuando hubo enhestado la columna de la mano derecha, le puso por nombre Jaquín (El SEÑOR establece ); y enhestando la columna de la mano izquierda, le puso su nombre Boaz (Solo en El hay fortaleza ).
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 7:21
Verse 21. The right pillar-Jachin] That is, He shall establish. The left pillar-Boaz, that is, in strength. These were no doubt emblematical; for notwithstanding their names, they seem to have supported no part of the building.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple , etc.] Not at the door or entrance into the temple, as Jarchi, but at the entrance into the porch: and he set up the right pillar ; or the pillar on the right hand as you went in, which was on the north, the front being east: and called the name thereof Jachin ; 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: and he set up the left pillar ; or the pillar on the left hand, which was to the south, unless the position of them was as you come out: and called the name thereof Boaz ; 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 ( 2 Chronicles 3:17) 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 Song of Solomon 4:15 Isaiah 45:24). Allusion is had to these, ( Revelation 3:12).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-47 - The two brazen pillars in the porch of the temple, some think, were to teach those that came to worship, to depend upon God only, for strengt and establishment in all their religious exercises. "Jachin," God wil fix this roving mind. It is good that the heart be established with grace. "Boaz," In him is our strength, who works in us both to will an to do. Spiritual strength and stability are found at the door of God' temple, where we must wait for the gifts of grace, in use of the mean of grace. Spiritual priests and spiritual sacrifices must be washed in the laver of Christ's blood, and of regeneration. We must wash often for we daily contract pollution. There are full means provided for ou cleansing; so that if we have our lot for ever among the unclean it will be our own fault. Let us bless God for the fountain opened by the sacrifice of Christ for sin and for uncleanness.
