Exegesis
The participle echōn {ἔχων | é-khōn} 'having' agrees with teichos and introduces a participial clause specifying possession of twelve foundations (themelious dōdeka {θεμελίους δώδεκα | the-me-lí-ous dṓ-de-ka} 'twelve foundations').
In context — Revelation 21:14
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations , and on them were twelve names—the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb .
