11HavingG2192 the gloryG3588G1391 of GodG3588G2316: andG2532 herG846 lightG3588G5458 was like untoG3664 a stoneG3037 most preciousG5093, even likeG5613 a jasperG2393 stoneG3037, clear as crystalG2929;
12AndG5037 hadG2192 a wallG5038 greatG3173 andG2532 highG5308, and hadG2192 twelveG1427 gatesG4440, andG2532 atG1909 the gatesG3588G4440 twelveG1427 angelsG32, andG2532 namesG3686 written thereonG1924, whichG3739 areG1510 the names of the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474:
