Revelation 21:15-17
15The one who spoke with me had a 1gold measuring 2rod to measure the city, its 3gates, and its wall.
16The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the 4rod, 5twelve thousand stadia; its length, width, and height are equal.
17And he measured its wall, 6144 cubits, by 7human 8measurements, which are also 9angelic measurements.
