15And the one speaking with me had a golden measuring rod, so that he might measure the city and its gates and its wall.

16And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its width. And he measured the city with the measuring rod: twelve thousand stadia. Its length and width and height are equal.

17And he measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measure, which is also an angel’s measure.
