Revelation 21:11-18

11The city possesses the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper.

12It has a massive, high wall with twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel are written on the gates.

13There are three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side.

14The wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall.

16Now the city is laid out as a square, its length and width the same. He measured the city with the measuring rod at fourteen hundred miles (its length and width and height are equal).

17He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s.

18The city’s wall is made of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
