¹²And it had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

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

¹⁴And the wall of the city had twelve foundations: And in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb,

¹⁵And he that spoke with me had a measure of a reed of gold, to measure the city and the gates thereof and the wall.

¹⁶And the city lieth in a four-square: and the length thereof is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand furlongs: and the length and the height and the breadth thereof are equal.

¹⁷And he measured the wall thereof an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an angel.

¹⁸And the building of the wall thereof was of jasper stone: but the city itself pure gold like to clear glass.

¹⁹And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper: the second, sapphire: the third; a chalcedony: the fourth, an emerald:

²⁰The fifth, sardonyx: the sixth, sardius: the seventh, chrysolite: the eighth, beryl: the ninth, a topaz: the tenth, a chrysoprasus: the eleventh, a jacinth: the twelfth, an amethyst.

²¹And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one to each: and every several gate was of one several pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as it were, transparent glass.
