10 And he carries me away, in spirit, on a mountain, huge and high, and shows me the holy city, Jerusalem, as it is descending out of heaven from God,
11 having the glory from God. Her luminosity is like a stone most precious, as a crystalline jasper gem,
12 having a wall, huge and high, having twelve portals, and at the portals twelve messengers, and their names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel."
13 From the east are three portals, and from the north three portals, and from the south three portals, and from the west three portals."
14 And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lambkin."
15 And he who is speaking with me had a measure, a golden reed, that he should be measuring the city, and its portals, and its wall."
16 And the city is lying four square: and its length is as much as the breadth. And he measures the city with the reed to twelve thousand stadia. Its length and breadth and height are equal.
17 And he measures its wall of a hundred forty-four cubits of a human measure, which is that of the messenger."
18 And the building material in its wall is jasper, and the city is clear gold, like clear glass."
19 The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every precious stone, the first foundation with jasper, the second lapis lazuli, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh topaz, the eighth beryl, the ninth peridot, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh amethyst, the twelfth garnet."
21 And the twelve portals are twelve pearls. Each one of the portals was respectively of one pearl. And the square of the city is gold, clear as translucent glass."
