Jeremiah 52:13-23

Jeremiah 52:13-23 TPT

He burned down the temple of YAHWEH, the royal palace, and all the homes of the wealthy of Jerusalem, and other buildings went up in flames. The Babylonians under the command of Nebuzaradan demolished all the walls surrounding Jerusalem. Nebuzaradan, the field general, took as prisoners some of the poor who were left behind in Jerusalem, together with the skilled workers and the deserters who had gone over to him. But he also left behind some of the extremely poor people in the land of Judah. They owned nothing, but he gave them vineyards and fields of their own. The Babylonians took everything of value from the temple of YAHWEH. They smashed the bronze pillars and confiscated the wheeled stands and the bronze laver. Everything made of bronze they carried off to Babylon. They also took the ash pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the sprinkling bowls, the incense bowls, and all the bronze vessels that had been used in worship. The field general took away every small bowl, the censers, the sprinkling bowls, the ash containers, the lampstands, the ladles, and the saucers —everything that was made of gold or silver. But the two pillars, the one sea and the twelve bronze bulls on their movable stands, which King Solomon had made for the temple of YAHWEH, were too heavy to weigh. Both pillars were identical, and each stood eighteen cubits high. Their circumference was twelve cubits, and they were four fingers thick and hollow inside. On top of each column was a large section of bronze; its height was over five cubits, and all around it were filigree and pomegranates, all in bronze. There was a total of one hundred pomegranates on the filigree all around, and ninety-six were visible from the ground.
