Bible Text

[7] Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Yahweh, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods; [8] even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. [9] This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives, [10] thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand. [11] All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
