Revelation 21:12

Context
21:12 It has¹ a massive, high wall² with twelve gates,³ with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel⁴ are written on the gates.⁵

¹tn Grk “jasper, having.” Here a new sentence was started in the translation.

²tn Grk “a (city) wall great and high.”

³tn On this term BDAG 897 s.v. πυλών 1 states, “gate, esp. of the large, impressive gateways at the entrance of temples and palaces…of the entrances of the heavenly Jerusalem…οἱ πυλῶνες αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ κλεισθῶσιν its entrances shall never be shut Rv 21:25; cp. vss. 12ab, 13abcd, 15, 21ab; 22:14.”

⁴tn Grk “of the sons of Israel.” The translation “nation of Israel” is given in L&N 11.58.

⁵tn Grk “on them”; the referent (the gates) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
