Revelation 21:12-22

12 She had a wall majestic and high with twelve gates. At each gate stood an Angel, and on the gates were inscribed the names of the Twelve Tribes of the sons of Israel:
13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, three gates on the west.
14 The wall was set on twelve foundations, the names of the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb inscribed on them.
15 The Angel speaking with me had a gold measuring stick to measure the City, its gates, and its wall.
16 The City was laid out in a perfect square. He measured the City with the measuring stick: twelve thousand stadia, its length, width, and height all equal.
17 Using the standard measure, the Angel measured the thickness of its wall: 144 cubits.
18 The wall was jasper, the color of Glory, and the City was pure gold, translucent as glass.
19 The foundations of the City walls were garnished with every precious gem imaginable: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,
20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate a single pearl.
22 But there was no sign of a Temple, for the Lord God - the Sovereign-Strong - and the Lamb are the Temple.
