Ezra 1:6-11

6And all of those around them 12encouraged them with articles of silver, with gold, with equipment, cattle, and with valuables, aside from everything that was given as a 3voluntary 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 leader of Judah.

9Now this was their number: thirty 7gold dishes, a thousand silver dishes, twenty nine 8duplicates;

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.
