1 Kings 7:21
1Ki 7:21 And he set up the 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 thereof Boaz.

Can it be a pure coincidence that we take the Hebrew gematria for the word "the pillars" or 169 and divide into 90 / 79 and we get the Hebrew gematria for the names of the "two pillars"? If not coincidence.. then could the names have meant something to the ancient builders that they were communicating by the name choices? Since it's math.. let's look at the math.
169 = 13 x 13 = SQUARE 13
90 = sum(1 to 13) -1 = TRIANGLE 13 -1
79 = sum(1 to 12) +1 = TRIANGLE 12 +1
Notice that as Rabbi Ginsburg says in his youtube video for children that the square of 13 is equal to the
triangle of 13 - triangle of 12. He says that there is much hidden in the Torah and Kaballah with this math.
Here is one example on the front entry to Solomon's Temple.
