Ezra 1:5-11

Amplified Bible

Holy Articles Restored

⁵ Then the heads of the fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites, all those whose spirits God had stirred up, ^[a]arose to go up and rebuild the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. ⁶ All those who were around them encouraged them with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, with cattle, and with valuable things, in addition to all that was given as a freewill offering. ⁷ Also King Cyrus brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem [when he captured that city] and had put in the house of his gods. ⁸ And Cyrus, king of Persia, had Mithredath the treasurer bring them out, and he counted them out to ^[b]Sheshbazzar, the governor (leader) of Judah. ⁹ And they counted: 30 dishes (basins) of gold, 1,000 dishes of silver, 29 duplicates; ¹⁰ 30 [small] gold bowls, 410 [small] silver bowls of a second kind, and 1,000 other articles. ¹¹ All the articles of gold and of silver totaled 5,400. All these Sheshbazzar [the governor] brought up with the exiles who went from Babylon up to Jerusalem.
