Boaz means strength. In the context of Freemasonry, Boaz is one of the two pillars that stood at the entrance of King Solomon's Temple, with the other being Jachin. The name Boaz is derived from Hebrew, where it signifies strength, power, or might. It is often interpreted as 'In it is strength' or 'Strength is in him.' Together with Jachin, which means 'He shall establish,' they convey the idea that 'In strength shall this house be established.' This duality reflects the balance of strength and stability in the Masonic tradition.
