⁶ And the house was made beautiful with stones of great value, and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

² Now as far as I am able, I have made ready what is needed for the house of my God; the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the silver things, and the brass for the brass things, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; beryls and jewels to be framed, and stones of different colours for ornament; all sorts of stones of great price, and polished building-stone, as much as is needed and more.

⁸ And those who had stones of great price gave them to the store of the house of the Lord, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.

¹¹ O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.

¹² I will make your towers of rubies, and your doors of carbuncles, and the wall round you will be of all sorts of beautiful stones.

¹⁸ And the building of its wall was of jasper, and the town was clear gold, clear as glass.

¹⁹ The bases of the wall of the town had ornaments of all sorts of beautiful stones. The first base was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

²⁰ The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

²¹ And the twelve doors were twelve pearls; every door was made of one pearl; and the street of the town was clear gold, as clear as glass.
