Revelation 21:10-21

10Then he carried me away in the Ruach to a great and high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

11having the glory of God—her radiance like a most precious stone, like a jasper, sparkling like crystal.

12She had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and above the gates twelve angels. On the gates were inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of Bnei-Yisrael—

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

14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve emissaries of the Lamb.

15The angel speaking with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.

16The city is laid out as a square—its length the same as its width. He measured the city with the rod—12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal.

17He also measured its wall—144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement.

18The material of the city’s wall was jasper, while the city was pure gold, clear as glass.

19The foundations of the city wall were decorated with every kind of precious stone—the first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, carnelian; the seventh, yellow topaz; the eighth; beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls—each of the gates was from a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.
