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. 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. (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; 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. 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.
