TSNTyndale Study Notes:

21:16 The city is described as a perfect cube. Each dimension is 1,400 miles (Greek 12,000 stadia); the number 12,000 symbolically represents the people of God (see “Symbolic Numbers” Theme Note).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-bdistance

σταδίων δώδεκα χιλιάδων

stadiums twelve thousands

The word stadia is the plural form of “stadium,” which was a distance of about 185 meters. If it would be helpful in your language, you could give the equivalent in modern measurements. However, you might also wish to retain the ancient measurement, since there may be some symbolic significance to the number 12,000. Alternate translation: “about 2,200 kilometers” or “about 1,300 miles”
