Revelation 21:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ The angel^[a] who talked to me had 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, fifteen hundred miles;^[b] its length and width and height are equal. ¹⁷ He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits^[c] by human measurement, which the angel was using.
