(c) The Gates of the City (Ezekiel 48:30)

The city, excluding the suburbs, was a square of 4,500 cubits each way, or 18,000 cubits in circuit. It had twelve gates, three on each side, and called after the twelve tribes, Joseph being here one tribe. The name of the city, Jehovah-Shammah, expressed the abiding presence of God with His people. This passage is the basis of Revelation 22:12; Revelation 22:16.
