And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand[k]furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.17Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.18The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.19The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,20the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.21The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl.
