1:5 Then the leaders ¹  of Judah and Benjamin, along with the priests and the Levites – all those whose mind God had stirred – got ready ²  to go up in order to build the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem. ³  1:6 All their neighbors assisted ⁴  them with silver utensils, ⁵  gold, equipment, animals, and expensive gifts, not to mention ⁶  all the voluntary offerings.

1:7 Then King Cyrus brought out the vessels of the Lord’s temple which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and had displayed ⁷  in the temple of his gods. 1:8 King Cyrus of Persia entrusted ⁸  them to ⁹  Mithredath ¹⁰  the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar ¹¹  the leader of the Judahite exiles. ¹² 

1:9 The inventory ¹³  of these items was as follows:

30 gold basins, ¹⁴ 

1,000 silver basins,

29 silver utensils, ¹⁵ 

1:10 30 gold bowls,

410 other ¹⁶  silver bowls,

and 1,000 other vessels.

1:11 All these gold and silver vessels totaled 5,400. ¹⁷  Sheshbazzar brought them all along when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
