Ezra 1:5-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. Then the heads of ancestral houses of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and Levites—everyone, that is, whose spirit had been stirred up by God—prepared to go up to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem.

6. All their neighbors gave them help in every way, with silver, gold, goods, livestock, and many precious gifts, besides all their voluntary offerings.

7. King Cyrus, too, had the vessels of the house of the Lord brought forth that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his god.

8. Cyrus, king of Persia, had them brought forth by the treasurer Mithredath, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar, prince of Judah.

9. This was the inventory: baskets of goldware, thirty; baskets of silverware, one thousand and twenty-nine;

10. golden bowls, thirty; silver bowls, four hundred and ten; other vessels, one thousand.

11. Total of the gold and silver vessels: five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with him when the exiles were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
