Ezra 1:5-11

5Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and the Levites rose up, 1everyone 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 23encouraged them with articles of silver, with gold, with equipment, cattle, and with valuables, aside from everything that was given as a 4voluntary offering.

75Also King Cyrus brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, 6which 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 7Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.

9Now this was their number: thirty 8gold dishes, a thousand silver dishes, twenty nine 9duplicates;

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.
