I Kings 7:21 Jewish Thought: The Third Beit HaMikdash

וַיָּ֙קֶם֙ אֶת־הָֽעַמֻּדִ֔ים לְאֻלָ֖ם הַֽהֵיכָ֑ל וַיָּ֜קֶם אֶת־הָעַמּ֣וּד הַיְמָנִ֗י וַיִּקְרָ֤א אֶת־שְׁמוֹ֙ יָכִ֔ין וַיָּ֙קֶם֙ אֶת־הָעַמּ֣וּד הַשְּׂמָאלִ֔י וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ בֹּֽעַז׃

And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.

The Third Beit HaMikdash

“There were pillars near the doorposts, one on this side,” i.e. on the right, “and one on the other side,”1Ibid.:49. i.e. on the left. These paralleled the Yachin and Boaz pillars that were present in the First Beis HaMikdash.2See I Melachim 7:21.
