Apocalipsa 21:15-17
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
15 Îngerul, care vorbea cu mine, avea(A) ca măsurătoare o trestie de aur, ca să măsoare cetatea, porţile şi zidul ei. 16 Cetatea era în patru colţuri şi lungimea ei era cât lărgimea. A măsurat cetatea cu trestia şi a găsit aproape douăsprezece mii de prăjini[a]. Lungimea, lărgimea şi înălţimea erau deopotrivă. 17 I-a măsurat şi zidul, şi a găsit o sută patruzeci şi patru de coţi, după măsura oamenilor, căci cu măsura aceasta măsura îngerul.
