The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The angel [ who talked with me ] had a [ measuring ] rod of gold [ to measure the city, its gates and its walls ]. The city was laid out like a square, as long [ as it was wide ]. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high [ as it is long ]. The angel measured the wall [ using human measurement ], and it was 144 cubits thick. The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure [ as glass is ].
