²⁰ At the four sides he hath measured it, a wall `is' to it all round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to separate between the holy and the profane place.

² There is of this for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred, square, round about; and fifty cubits of suburb `is' to it round about.

⁵ And lo, a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the hand of the man a measuring-reed, six cubits by a cubit and a handbreadth, and he measureth the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed.

²⁶ Its priests have wronged My law, And they pollute My holy things, Between holy and common they have not made separation, And between the unclean and the clean they have not made known, And from my sabbaths they have hidden their eyes, And I am pierced in their midst.

⁵ And I -- I am to her -- an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst.

¹⁵ And the five thousand that is left in the breadth, on the front of the five and twenty thousand, is common -- for the city, for dwelling, and for suburb, and the city hath been in its midst.

²³ `And My people they direct between holy and common, and between unclean and clean they cause them to discern.

¹⁸ Violence is not heard any more in thy land, Spoiling and destruction in thy borders, And thou hast called `Salvation' thy walls, And thy gates, `Praise.'

¹⁰ and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

¹¹ having the glory of God, and her light `is' like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal,

¹² having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are `those' of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel,

¹³ at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the south three gates, at the west three gates;

¹⁴ and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵ And he who is speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall;

¹⁶ and the city lieth square, and the length of it is as great as the breadth; and he did measure the city with the reed -- furlongs twelve thousand; the length, and the breadth, and the height, of it are equal;

¹⁷ and he measured its wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of the messenger;

¹⁸ and the building of its wall was jasper, and the city `is' pure gold -- like to pure glass;

¹⁹ and the foundations of the wall of the city with every precious stone have been adorned; the first foundation 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, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

²¹ And the twelve gates `are' twelve pearls, each several one of the gates was of one pearl; and the broad-place of the city `is' pure gold -- as transparent glass.

²² And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb,

²³ and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it `is' the Lamb;

²⁴ and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it,

²⁵ and its gates shall not at all be shut by day, for night shall not be there;

²⁶ and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it;

²⁷ and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but -- those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

¹⁷ wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I -- I will receive you,

²⁶ and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.

¹¹ The day to build thy walls! That day -- removed is the limit.

²⁰ All the heave-offering `is' five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand, square do ye lift up the heave-offering of the holy `portion' with the possession of the city.

¹ In that day sung is this song in the land of Judah: `We have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark.

¹ O Jehovah, my God `art' Thou, I exalt Thee, I confess Thy name, For Thou hast done a wonderful thing, Counsels of old, stedfastness, O stedfast One.

⁹ My beloved `is' like to a roe, Or to a young one of the harts. Lo, this -- he is standing behind our wall, Looking from the windows, Blooming from the lattice.

¹⁰ so as to make a separation between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the pure;
