Revelation 21:16-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
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. 17 And he measured its wall— a hundred forty four cubits[b] (a human’s measure, which is an angel’s [also]). 18 And the material of [c] its wall is jasper, and the city is pure gold resembling pure[d] glass.
