Revelation 21:14-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
14 And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And the one speaking with me had a golden measuring rod, in order that he might measure the city and its gates and its wall. 16 And the city lies square— indeed its length is as much as also the width. And he measured the city with the rod, a-matter-of twelve thousand stades[a]. Its length and width and height are equal.
