Boaz, besides being the name of the male lead character in the story of Ruth
in the Bible, was the name of one of the pillars on the porch of the Temple
of Solomon, and Jachin was the name of the other pillar. There has at times
been some conversation about which pillar is the one on the right and which
is on the left.
 
Well, in 2nd Chronicles 3:17 it talks about the pillars on
the porch of the temple. It's interesting to note that in the King James,
(Authorized Version,) it says the one on the "right hand is Jachin, and the
name of the one on the left Boaz." 
 
More than one Brother has asked, is that the right facing as going into the temple or coming out? Well, the answer is found in the New International Version, (NIV,) of the Bible, where the very same text is translated this way: "He erected the pillars in the
front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the
south he named Jachin and the one to the north Boaz." 
 
So, that translation should make it much easier for us to remember which pillar is on which side. By the way the New Living Translation, (NLT,) also says north and south.

 I like this Mason Education posting. I for one would like us to have short education items available to read. We may even want to build an digital archive of them and make it searchable for furture reference. Beats the heck out of bad TV any day. Thanks for taking the time to share and I am glad to see you getting back into the swing of things.
