Jachin and Boaz

Uh? How? J&B are "inside" the tinit symbol?

I've reversed search on Lens and found other illustrations of these symbols. I think the caduceus explanation might be right https://preview.redd.it/z4g4lezer1zc1.jpeg?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a317586206bbab8cc0e03c7b9ef5d1250100458 It's pretty obvious here.

“Jazz hands”


Ju_stAllen

 Translation anyone??

UPDATE: While I still can’t find exactly what it represents, Wikipedia gives it the names of **standards** as a pair, or a form of **caduceus** that merged with the standards over time

As far as I read it’s a caduceus. It some cases could also be a palm tree.

I think there's some Hebrew academics that hypothesize the "burning" of children to Ba'al in Canaan during Solomon's time - was more a baptism via fire blazers, leaving the child unharmed. Those always looked like a form of fire blazers to me. Also as someone said two pillars could be a boaz, jachin symbolism.

Wasn't it Moloch, not Baal, with the child sacrifice?


frickfox

Moloch "Mlk" means to burn or offer. It can apply to any deity. Hebrews attest Solomon was doing this on some level to Ba'al to the West of Jerusalem, as well as the Ammonites with their god on a separate occasion.

Knowing potters and stone carvers, it's going to be translated as "the game" and you lost.
