Ezra 1:5-11
English Standard Version
5 Then rose up the heads of the fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, (A)everyone whose spirit (B)God had stirred to go up to rebuild the house of the Lord that is in Jerusalem. 6 And all who were about them (C)aided them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, with beasts, and with costly wares, besides all that was freely offered. 7 (D)Cyrus the king also brought out the vessels of the house of the Lord that (E)Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods. 8 Cyrus king of Persia brought these out in the charge of (F)Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to (G)Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9 And this was the number of them: (H)30 basins of gold, 1,000 basins of silver, 29 censers, 10 30 bowls of gold, 410 bowls of silver, and 1,000 other vessels; 11 all the vessels of gold and of silver were 5,400. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when the exiles were brought up from Babylonia to Jerusalem.
