Ezra 1 - God's Word


(2 Chronicles 36:22–23)

Cyrus Allows the Jews to Return from Babylon


Sheshbazzar Returns with the Temple Furnishings

1-2-3-4 The promise the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah was about to come true in Cyrus’ first year as king of Persia. The Lord inspired the king to make this announcement throughout his whole kingdom and then to put it in writing.

5 Then the heads of the families of Judah and Benjamin, the priests, and the Levites—everyone God had inspired—came forward to rebuild the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem.

6 All their neighbors ⌞who were remaining behind⌟ provided them with articles made from silver and gold, supplies, livestock, and valuable gifts besides everything that was freely offered.

7 King Cyrus brought out the utensils belonging to the Lord’s temple. Nebuchadnezzar had taken these utensils from Jerusalem and put them in the temple of his own god.

8 King Cyrus of Persia put the treasurer Mithredath in charge of bringing them out. So Mithredath made a list of them for Prince Sheshbazzar of Judah.

9 This is the inventory: gold dishes … 30 silver dishes … 1,000 knives … 29

10 gold bowls … 30 other silver bowls … 410 other utensils … 1,000

11 The gold and silver utensils totaled … 5,400. Sheshbazzar took all these utensils with him when the exiles left Babylon to go to Jerusalem.
