They gave them many valuable gifts in addition to all the voluntary offerings.
7 King Cyrus himself brought out the articles that King Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Lord’s Temple in Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his own gods. 8 Cyrus directed Mithredath, the treasurer of Persia, to count these items and present them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of the exiles returning to Judah.[a] 9 This is a list of the items that were returned:
gold basins | 30 |
silver basins | 1,000 |
silver incense burners[b] | 29 |
10 gold bowls | 30 |
