{Twelve pearls} (d(9364)eka margaritai). These gate towers
(pul(936e)es) were mentioned in verses 12f . Each of these (cf.
Isa 54:12 ) is a pearl, one of the commonest of jewels ( Mt 7:6 13:46 1Ti 2:9 ). {Each one} (ana heis hekastos). Distributive
use of ana, but with the nominative (used as adverb, not
preposition) rather than the accusative (as a preposition) as
appears also in Mr 14:19 Joh 8:9 ; with kata in Ro 12:5 , "a
barbaric construction" according to Charles. {Street}
(plateia). For which word (broad way, hodos understood) see
Mt 6:5 , here the singular, but includes all the streets.
{Transparent} (diaug(8873)). Old word (from dia, through, aug(885c),
ray, shining through), here alone in N.T.
