Above the dome there was something that looked like a throne made of sapphire, and sitting on the throne was a figure that looked like a human being.

I looked at the dome over the heads of the living creatures and above them was something that seemed to be a throne made of sapphire.

and they saw the God of Israel. Beneath his feet was what looked like a pavement of sapphire, as blue as the sky.

A golden glow is seen in the north, and the glory of God fills us with awe.

His face gleamed like such precious stones as jasper and carnelian, and all around the throne there was a rainbow the color of an emerald.

Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. Surrounding the throne on each of its sides, were four living creatures covered with eyes in front and behind.

and shining with the glory of God. The city shone like a precious stone, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
