Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {καὶ | kaí} linking this clause to the preceding vision.
A second coordinated nominative clause, kai hē polis {καὶ ἡ πόλις | kai hē pólis} “and the city,” uses chrysion katharon {χρυσίον καθαρὸν | chrysíon katharón} as a predicate nominative, characterizing its composition.
