⁵ Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all whose spirits ^(A)God ^[a]had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. ⁶ And all those who were around them ^[b]encouraged them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with precious things, besides all that was ^(B)willingly offered.

^7 (C)King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, ^(D)which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the ^[c]temple of his gods; ⁸ and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to ^(E)Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. ⁹ This is the number of them: thirty gold platters, one thousand silver platters, twenty-nine knives, ¹⁰ thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a similar kind, and one thousand other articles. ¹¹ All the articles of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with the captives who were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.
