15 And the one who spoke with me ^rhad a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. ^{▼▼About 1,380 miles; a stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters} Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits ^{▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters} by ^uhuman measurement, which is also ^van angel’s measurement. 18 The wall was built of ^wjasper, while the city was pure gold, like ^xclear glass. 19 ^yThe foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and ^zthe street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
