And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 4 of Revelation. After the messages to the churches, John sees an open door in heaven and again hears the voice inviting him to come up. The throne immediately occupies the center of the scene. The one seated upon it is described through precious stones, while a rainbow resembling an emerald surrounds the throne. The purpose is not to provide a physical description of God, but to communicate through images of splendor, stability, and majesty that earthly history must be understood from the perspective of heavenly sovereignty.

und der dasaß, war gleich anzusehen wie der Stein Jaspis und Sarder; und ein Regenbogen war um den Stuhl, gleich anzusehen wie ein Smaragd.
Y el que estaba sentado, era al parecer semejante a una piedra de jaspe y de sardio: y un arco celeste había alrededor del trono, semejante en el aspecto a la esmeralda.
Celui qui était assis avait l'aspect d'une pierre de jaspe et de sardoine; et le trône était environné d'un arc-en-ciel semblable à de l'émeraude.
E colui che sedea era nell’aspetto simigliante ad una pietra di diaspro, e sardia; e intorno al trono v’era l’arco celeste, simigliante in vista ad uno smeraldo.
E o que estava assentado era, na aparência, semelhante à pedra jaspe e sardônica; e o arco celeste estava ao redor do trono, e parecia semelhante à esmeralda.
那坐著的,看來好像碧玉和紅寶石;又有彩虹圍著寶座,光彩好像綠寶石。
