Revelation 21:10-22

10And he carried me awayG667 in [the] SpiritG4151, [and set me] on a greatG3173 and highG5308 mountainG3735, and shewed me the holyG40 cityG4172, JerusalemG2419, comingG2597 downG2597 out of the heavenG3772 from 1GodG2316,

11having the gloryG1391 of 2GodG2316. Her shining [was] like a most preciousG5093 stoneG3037, as a crystal-like jasperG2393 stoneG3037;

12having a greatG3173 and highG5308 wallG5038; having twelveG1427 gatesG4440, and at the gatesG4440 twelveG1427 angelsG32, and namesG3686 inscribed, which areG1510 those of the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of [the] sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474.

13On [the] eastG395 threeG5140 gatesG4440; and on [the] northG1005 threeG5140 gatesG4440; and on [the] southG3558 threeG5140 gatesG4440; and on [the] westG1424 threeG5140 gatesG4440.

14And the wallG5038 of the cityG4172 had twelveG1427 foundationsG2310, and on them twelveG1427 namesG3686 of the twelveG1427 apostlesG652 of the LambG721.

15And he that spokeG2980 with me had a goldenG5552 reedG2563 [as] a measureG3354, that he might measureG3354 the cityG4172, and its gatesG4440, and its wallG5038.

16And the cityG4172 liesG2749 four-square, and its lengthG3372 [isG1510] as muchG3745 as the breadthG4114. And he measuredG3354 the cityG4172 with the reedG2563 — twelveG1427 thousandG5505 stadia: the lengthG3372 and the breadthG4114 and heightG5311 of it areG1510 equalG2470.

17And he measuredG3354 its wallG5038, a hundredG1540 [and] forty-fourG5062 cubitsG4083, [a] man's measureG3354, that isG1510, [the] angel's.

18And the building of its wallG5038 [was] jasperG2393; and the cityG4172 pureG2513 goldG5553, like pureG2513 glassG5194:

19the foundationsG2310 of the wallG5038 of the cityG4172 [were] adornedG2885 with every preciousG5093 stoneG3037: the firstG4413 foundationG2310, jasperG2393; the secondG1208, sapphire; the thirdG5154, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

20the fifthG3991, sardonyx; the sixthG1623, sardiusG4556; the seventhG1442, chrysolite; the eighthG3590, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenthG1182, chrysoprasus; the eleventhG1734, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

21And the twelveG1427 gatesG4440, twelveG1427 pearlsG3135; each oneG1520 of the gatesG4440, respectively, wasG1510 of oneG1520 pearlG3135; and the street of the cityG4172 pureG2513 goldG5553, as transparent glassG5194.

22And I sawG3708 no templeG3485 in it; for the LordG2962 3GodG2316 AlmightyG3841 isG1510 its templeG3485, and the LambG721.
