Ezra 1:3-11

3Whoever there is among you of all His people, may his God be with him! 1Go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah and rebuild the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; 2He is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4And every survivor, at whatever place he may 3live, the people of 4that place are to support him with silver and gold, with equipment and cattle, together with a 5voluntary offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.’”

5Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and the Levites rose up, 6everyone whose spirit God had stirred to go up to rebuild the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. 6And all of those around them 78encouraged them with articles of silver, with gold, with equipment, cattle, and with valuables, aside from everything that was given as a 9voluntary offering. 710Also King Cyrus brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, 11which 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 12Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah. 9Now this was their number: thirty 13gold dishes, a thousand silver dishes, twenty nine 14duplicates; 10thirty gold bowls, 410 silver bowls of a second kind, and a thousand other articles. 11All the articles of gold and silver totaled 5,400. Sheshbazzar brought them all up with the exiles who went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
