1In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the Lord given through the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia. Cyrus circulated a proclamation throughout his kingdom and recorded it in a written document.
2This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:
5Then the heads of the families of Judah and Benjamin, the priests, and the Levites arose—everyone whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the House of the Lord , which is in Jerusalem.[#1:5 Literally the heads of the fathers or the leading fathers]
6All of their neighbors supported them with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, with livestock, and with valuables, in addition to all kinds of voluntary contributions.
7King Cyrus also brought out the vessels of the House of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and put into the house of his gods.
8Now Cyrus king of Persia entrusted them to the treasurer Mithredath, and he counted them out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.[#1:8 The title leader () does not necessarily refer to a prince , the son of a king. Sheshbazzar is, however, traditionally called a prince because the line of the Messiah is traced through him.]
9This is a tally of several different kinds of vessels:
gold dishes 30
silver dishes 1,000
pans 29
10gold bowls 30
silver bowls of other kinds 410
other articles 1,000
11The total number of all of the gold and silver vessels was 5,400.
Sheshbazzar brought these things up to Jerusalem along with the exiles who went up to Jerusalem.
