And he that talked with me had a measure, a golden reed, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.

And a reed like a rod was given to me; and it was said: Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship in it.

And the city lies square: and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thou sand furlongs: the length, and the breadth, and the hight of it are equal.

And he measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

But the court that is without the temple leave out, and measure it not: for it is given to the Gentiles, and the holy city they shall tread under foot forty-two months.
