Ezra 1:7-11

7King Cyrus brought out the utensils belonging to the Lord’s temple. Nebuchadnezzar had taken these utensils from Jerusalem and put them in the temple of his own god.

8King Cyrus of Persia put the treasurer Mithredath in charge of bringing them out. So Mithredath made a list of them for Prince Sheshbazzar of Judah.

9This is the inventory: gold dishes … 30 silver dishes … 1,000 knives … 29

10gold bowls … 30 other silver bowls … 410 other utensils … 1,000

11The gold and silver utensils totaled … 5,400. Sheshbazzar took all these utensils with him when the exiles left Babylon to go to Jerusalem.
