Exegesis
The nominative phrase hē endōmēsis {ἡ ἐνδώμησις | hē endṓmēsis} “the structure” is immediately defined by the genitive tou teichous autēs {τοῦ τείχους αὐτῆς | tou teîchous autēs} “of its wall,” specifying the part of the city described.
In context — Revelation 21:18
And the structure of its wall was jasper , and the city was pure gold, like clear glass .
