Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi tois pylōsin {ἐπὶ τοῖς πυλῶσιν | e-pí toîs pu-lô-sin} “upon the gates” introduces angelous {ἀγγέλους | an-gé-lous} “angels,” again paired by dodeka. The conjunction kai links each element into a cumulative image of defense and divine order.
In context — Revelation 21:12
It had a great and high wall , with twelve gates; at the gates were twelve angels and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel .
