1In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, in order to fulfil the word of the Lord spoken through Jeremiah, the Lord roused the spirit of King Cyrus to issue a proclamation throughout his entire kingdom and to put it in writing:[#1:1 2Ch 36:22–23; #1:1 Jr 25:12; 29:10–14; #1:1 Ezr 7:27]
5So the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, along with the priests and Levites #– #everyone whose spirit God had roused #– #prepared to go up and rebuild the Lord ’s house in Jerusalem.[#1:5 Ezr 1:1]
6All their neighbours supported them , with silver articles, gold, goods, livestock, and valuables, in addition to all that was given as a freewill offering.[#1:6 Lit strengthened their hands; #1:6 Ezr 6:22]
7King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the Lord ’s house that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the house of his gods.[#1:7 2Ch 36:7,10,18; Dn 1:2; 5:2–3]
8King Cyrus of Persia had them brought out under the supervision of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.[#1:8 Ezr 5:14,16]
9This was the inventory:
30 gold basins, 1,000 silver basins,
29 silver knives,
1030 gold bowls,
410 various silver bowls, and 1,000 other articles.
11The gold and silver articles totalled 5,400. Sheshbazzar brought all of them when the exiles went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
