²⁴ So ^(A)He drove the man out; and at the ^(B)east of the Garden of Eden He stationed the ^(C)cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to ^(D)the tree of life.

^12 [a]It had a great and high wall, ^[b](A)with twelve ^(B)gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on the gates, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

²⁵ In the daytime (for ^(A)there will be no night there) ^(B)its gates ^(C)will never be closed; ²⁶ and ^(D)they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; ²⁷ and ^(E)nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those ^[a]whose names are ^(F)written in the Lamb’s book of life.
