14. The wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15. The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall.
16. Now the city is laid out as a square, its length and width the same. He measured the city with the measuring rod at fourteen hundred miles (its length and width and height are equal).
17. He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s.
18. The city’s wall is made of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
