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](../17/03.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])

# each of the gates was made from a single pearl

# 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](./18.md). (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]])
