the pillars, the bowls, and the capitals on the pillars, and the networks covering the two bowls of the capitals on the pillars, — This verse appears to list additional furnishings associated with the pillars (presumably the two entrance pillars detailed in 3:15–17). The 'bowls' (סִפּוֹת) may refer to the capital-tops; the 'networks' (שְׂבָכוֹת) were decorative latticework or mesh covering. The poetic enumeration creates a sense of comprehensive accomplishment: every architectural element received ornamentation and detail. The verse continues the itemization of 4:11 without clear subject break, suggesting that Huram's work included not only the internal furnishings but also the external architectural details.
