pillars

set a pillar upon her grave.
wisdom hath built her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke?
but his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
and the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name there of boaz.
him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my GOD, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my GOD set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s household that this pillar be witness.
and all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
and upon the top of the pillars was lily work HE spoke unto them in the cloudy pillar.
