1 Esdras 2:6-15
-
6 Whosoever then dwell in the places about, let them help him, those, I say, that are his neighbours, with gold, and with silver,
-
7 With gifts, with horses, and with cattle, and other things, which have been set forth by vow, for the temple of the Lord at Jerusalem.
-
8 Then the chief of the families of Judea and of the tribe of Benjamin stood up; the priests also, and the Levites, and all they whose mind the Lord had moved to go up, and to build an house for the Lord at Jerusalem,
-
9 And they that dwelt round about them, and helped them in all things with silver and gold, with horses and cattle, and with very many free gifts of a great number whose minds were stirred up thereto.
-
10 King Cyrus also brought forth the holy vessels, which Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem, and had set up in his temple of idols.
-
11 Now when Cyrus king of the Persians had brought them forth, he delivered them to Mithridates his treasurer:
-
12 And by him they were delivered to Sanabassar the governor of Judea.
-
13 And this was the number of them; A thousand golden cups, and a thousand of silver, censers of silver twenty nine, vials of gold thirty, and of silver two thousand four hundred and ten, and a thousand other vessels.
-
14 So all the vessels of gold and of silver, which were carried away, were five thousand four hundred threescore and nine.
-
15 These were brought back by Sanabassar, together with them of the captivity, from Babylon to Jerusalem.
