{The building of the wall} (h(8820)end(936d)(8873)is tou teichous).
Or endom(8873)is, elsewhere so far only in Josephus (_Ant_. XV. 9.
6, a mole or breakwater) and in an inscription (_Syll_. 583 31),
apparently from endome(935c), to build in, and so the fact of
building in. The wall had jasper (verse  11 ) built into it. {Was
pure gold} (chrusion katharon). No copula (886e) (was) expressed.
The city shone like a mass of gold in contrast with the jasper
lustre of the wall. {Pure glass} (hual(9369) kathar(9369)). Associative
instrumental case after homoion. Hualos (apparently from
huei, it rains, and so raindrop) in N.T. only  Re 21:18,21 .
