Articles from Yahweh’s House Brought to Jerusalem
5 Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and the Levites arose, (A)that is of everyone whose spirit God had stirred to go up to rebuild the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem. 6 All those around them [a](B)strengthened them with articles of silver, with gold, with possessions, with cattle, and with precious things, aside from all that was given as a freewill offering. 7 (C)Also King Cyrus brought out the articles of the house of Yahweh, (D)which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods; 8 and Cyrus, king of Persia, had them brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and he counted them out to (E)Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. 9 Now this was their number: 30 (F)gold dishes, 1,000 silver dishes, 29 [b]duplicates; 10 30 gold bowls, 410 silver bowls of a second kind and 1,000 other articles. 11 All the articles of gold and silver numbered 5,400. Sheshbazzar brought them all up with the exiles who went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

Ezra 1:5-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
Preparations for the Return
5 Then the heads of the families[a] of Judah and Benjamin, the priests, and the Levites arose—everyone whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the House of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem. 6 All of their neighbors supported them with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, with livestock, and with valuables, in addition to all kinds of voluntary contributions.
7 King Cyrus also brought out the vessels of the House of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and put into the house of his gods. 8 Now Cyrus king of Persia entrusted them to the treasurer Mithredath, and he counted them out to Sheshbazzar, the leader[b] of Judah.
9 This is a tally of several different kinds of vessels:
gold dishes | 30 |
silver dishes | 1,000 |
pans[c] | 29 |
10 gold bowls | 30 |
silver bowls of other kinds | 410 |
other articles | 1,000 |
11 The total number of all of the gold and silver vessels was 5,400.
Sheshbazzar brought these things up to Jerusalem along with the exiles who went up to Jerusalem.

- Ezra 1:5 Literally the heads of the fathers or the leading fathers
- Ezra 1:8 The title leader (nasi) does not necessarily refer to a prince, the son of a king. Sheshbazzar is, however, traditionally called a prince because the line of the Messiah is traced through him.
- Ezra 1:9 The precise identification of some of these objects is uncertain. For example, the term translated pans may mean knives.
