1.2 KiB
pearls
beautiful and valuable white beads. They are formed inside the shell of a certain kind of small animal that lives in the ocean. See how you translated this in Revelation 17:4. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown)
each of the gates was made from a single pearl
This can be stated in active form. AT: "someone had made each of the gates from a single pearl" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
pure gold, like transparent glass
The gold was so clear that it is spoken of as if it was glass. See how you translated a similar phrase in Revelation 21:18. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
Lord God ... and the Lamb are its temple
The temple represented God's presence. This means the new Jerusalem does not need a temple because God and the Lamb will live there. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
