^(C1)Also King Cyrus brought out the articles of the house of the LORD, ^(C2)which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods;

and Cyrus, king of Persia, had them brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and he counted them out to ^(C1)Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.

Now this was their number: thirty ^(C1)gold dishes, a thousand silver dishes, twenty nine ^(F1)duplicates;

thirty gold bowls, 410 silver bowls of a second kind, and a thousand other articles.

All the articles of gold and silver totaled 5,400. Sheshbazzar brought them all up with the exiles who went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
