Ezra 1:5-11

5Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and the Levites arose, 1even everyone whose spirit God had stirred to go up and rebuild the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.

6All those about them 23encouraged them with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, with cattle and with valuables, aside from all that was given as a freewill offering.

74Also King Cyrus brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, 5which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods;

8and Cyrus, king of Persia, had them brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and he counted them out to 6Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.

9Now this was their number: 30 7gold dishes, 1,000 silver dishes, 29 8duplicates;

1030 gold bowls, 410 silver bowls of a second kind and 1,000 other articles.

11All the articles of gold and silver numbered 5,400. Sheshbazzar brought them all up with the exiles who went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
