'The Twelve' in the Bible

having a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and, at the gates, twelve messengers, and names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel, -

and, the wall of the city, having twelve foundations, and, upon them, twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

and, the twelve gates, were twelve pearls, - each one of the gates, severally, was of one pearl; and, the broadway of the city, was pure gold, as transparent glass.
