Revelation 21:11

ἔχουσαν τήν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ. A omits, cop[822] omits τοῦ θεοῦ, א Iren[823]gr[824] insert ἀπὸ before τοῦ θεοῦ.

[822] Coptic.
[823] St Irenaeus where the Greek is extant.
[824] St Irenaeus where the Greek is extant.

11. ἔχουσαν τὴν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ. i.e. the visible cloud of glory (cf. Hebrews 9:5), the Shechinah of the Divine Presence, which the Second Temple in the earthly Jerusalem lacked. See Revelation 21:23.

ὁ φωστήρ. Elsewhere the word means “luminary”; perhaps here it stands for the light by which the city shines on the world rather than for the light which shines on the city.

ἰάσπιδι κρυσταλλίζοντι. See on Revelation 4:3 : it was rare for a “jasper” to combine brilliant colour and perfect translucency.
