He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.

A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise and measure God's temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.

The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.
