³¹ And the gates of the city `are' according to the names of the tribes of Israel; three gates northward: the gate of Reuben one, the gate of Judah one, the gate of Levi one.

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;

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.

² Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.

¹² And have made of agate thy pinnacles, And thy gates of carbuncle stones, And all thy border of stones of delight,

¹¹ And opened have thy gates continually, By day and by night they are not shut, To bring unto thee the force of nations, Even their kings are led.

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.

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