Explain two pillars

In Freemasonry, the two pillars are known as Boaz and Jachin. These pillars are significant symbols that stand at the entrance of King Solomon's Temple, representing strength and establishment, respectively. The pillar Boaz, which is on the left, denotes strength, while the pillar Jachin, on the right, signifies establishment. Together, they serve as a reminder of the divine support and guidance provided to the children of Israel during their exodus from Egypt, symbolizing the pillars of cloud and fire that led them to safety.

These pillars are described as being eighteen cubits high and twelve in circumference, adorned with chapiters that feature intricate designs of net-work, lily-work, and pomegranates, which symbolize unity, peace, and plenty. The pillars also represent the universality of Freemasonry, indicating that it extends across the globe and that a Mason's charity should be equally extensive .
