On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that spoke with me had a golden measuring rod, to measure the city and its gates and its wall. And the city was square, and its length equal to its breadth. And he measured the city with the rod, twelve thousand stadia [1372 English miles]; and the length and breadth and height of it are equal. And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which was of the angel. And the building of its wall was jasper, and the city was of pure gold like clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone; the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardine stone, the seventh chrysolyte, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh hyacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of the gates was of one pearl. And the street of the city was of pure gold, transparent as glass. And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to give a light to it; for the glory of God lights it, and its light the Lamb. And the nations shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it, and its gates shall not be shut by day,??or there shall be no night there,??26 and they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. And there shall not enter into it any thing that is defiled, nor any one that commits an abomination and falsehood, but those enrolled in the Lamb's book of life.
