Exegesis
themelioi {θεμέλιοι | the-mé-li-oi} ‘foundations’ functions as the nominative subject, followed by the genitive chain tou teichous tēs poleōs {τοῦ τείχους τῆς πόλεως | toû teí-khous tês pó-le-ōs} specifying the city’s wall.
The perfect passive participle kekosmenoi {κεκοσμημένοι | ke-kos-mē-mé-noi} agrees with foundations and conveys a completed action with ongoing effect, while the dative phrase panti litho timio {παντί λίθῳ τιμίῳ | pan-tí lí-thō ti-mí-ō} serves an instrumental role denoting material.
Root and etymology
kosmeōkos-mé-ō
“to arrange, adorn”
In context — Revelation 21:19
The foundations of the city’s wall were embellished with every precious stone : the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, and the fourth emerald.
