The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Ipsas quoque columnas posuit in vestibulo templi, unam a dextris, et alteram a sinistris : eam quæ a dextris erat, vocavit Jachin : et quæ ad lævam, Booz.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἔστησεν τοὺς στύλους κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ναοῦ, ἕνα ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ τὸν ἕνα ἐξ εὐωνύμων, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἐκ δεξιῶν Κατόρθωσις, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν Ἰσχύς.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיָּ֤קֶם אֶת הָֽעַמּוּדִים֙ עַל פְּנֵ֣י הַהֵיכָ֔ל אֶחָ֥ד מִיָּמִ֖ין וְאֶחָ֣ד מֵֽהַשְּׂמֹ֑אול וַיִּקְרָ֤א שֵׁם הימיני יָכִ֔ין וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשְּׂמָאלִ֖י בֹּֽעַז

Haydock's commentary

Booz. "Stability and strength" are derived from God alone. Thus Solomon designed to insinuate that God established the harmony of the universe. (Haydock)

An orrery, or globe, was therefore placed on each of these pillars. (Parkhurst, in con.)
