17And he measured its wall, 1144 cubits, by 2human 3measurements, which are also 4angelic measurements. 18The material of the wall was 5jasper; and the city was 6pure gold, like 7clear 8glass. 199The foundation stones of the city wall were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was 10jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, 11emerald; 20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, 12sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 21And the twelve 13gates were twelve 14pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was 15pure gold, like transparent 16glass.
