1599 Geneva Bible
14 And the wall of the city had [a]twelve foundations, and in them the names of the Lamb’s twelve Apostles.
15 [b]And he that walked with me, had a golden reed, to measure the city withal, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 [c]And the city lay [d]foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth of it, and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: and the length, and the breadth, and the height of it are equal.
