Revelation 21:12–21

^12*It had a great, high wall with twelve gates and with twelve angels in charge of the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the people of Israel. ^13*There were three gates on each side: three on the east, three on the south, three on the north, and three on the west. ¹⁴The city’s wall was built on twelve foundation stones, on which were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ^15*The angel who spoke to me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. ¹⁶The city was perfectly square, as wide as it was long. The angel measured the city with his measuring rod: it was 2,400 kilometres long and was as wide and as high as it was long. ¹⁷The angel also measured the wall, and it was sixty metres high,^g according to the standard unit of measure which he was using.^{h 18*}The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself was made of pure gold, as clear as glass. ^19*The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation stone was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, ^20*the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh yellow quartz, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chalcedony, the eleventh turquoise, the twelfth amethyst. ^21*The twelve gates were twelve pearls; each gate was made from a single pearl. The street of the city was of pure gold, transparent as glass.
