The city was laid out as a square, its length the same as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand stadia. Its length and width and height are equal.
In context
14The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15The one who spoke with me had a golden measuring reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16The city was laid out as a square, its length the same as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. 17He also measured its wall: one hundred forty-four cubits, by human measurement, which the angel was using. 18The wall was built of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.
