9. And one of the seven messengers who held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I shall show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
10. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the set-apart Yerushalayim, descending out of the heaven from Elohim,
11. having the esteem of Elohim, and her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal,
12. and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl:
13. three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve emissaries of the Lamb.
15. And he who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod, to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
16. And the city lies four-cornered, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the rod: two thousand two hundred kilometres – the length, and the breadth, and height of it are equal.
17. And he measured its wall: sixty-five metres, according to the measure of a man, that is, of a messenger.
18. And the structure of its wall was jasper. And the city was clean gold, like clear glass.
19. And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,
20. the fifth sardonyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls – each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was clean gold, like transparent glass.
