Revelation 21:15–20

¹⁵The angel who talked with me had a gold measuring rod. He used it to measure the city, its gates and its walls.

¹⁶The city was laid out like a square. It was as long as it was wide. The angel measured the city with the rod. It was 1,400 miles long. It was as wide and high as it was long.

¹⁷He measured the wall of the city. It was 200 feet thick. The angel did the measuring as a man would. ¹⁸The wall was made out of jasper. The city was made out of pure gold, as pure as glass.

¹⁹The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of jewel. The first foundation was made out of jasper. The second was made out of sapphire. The third was made out of chalcedony. The fourth was made out of emerald. ²⁰The fifth was made out of sardonyx. The sixth was made out of carnelian. The seventh was made out of chrysolite. The eighth was made out of beryl. The ninth was made out of topaz. The tenth was made out of chrysoprase. The eleventh was made out of jacinth. The twelfth was made out of amethyst.
