Ezra 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 1:11

All the vessels of gold, and of silver, were five thousand and
four hundred
Those that are mentioned make no more than 2499, which Aben Ezra thinks were the larger vessels; but this general sum takes in great and small, as in ( 2 Chronicles 36:18 ) in the letter of Cyrus, before mentioned, these vessels are more particularly described, and their several numbers given, which together amount to the exact number in the text, 5400; the apocryphal Ezra makes them 5469:

all these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity, that
were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem:
of whom there is a large and particular account in the following chapter.

Ezra 1:11 In-Context

9 This was the count: thirty gold dishes, one thousand silver dishes, twenty-nine knives,
10 thirty gold bowls, four hundred ten larger silver bowls, and one thousand other objects.
11 The total of the gold and silver objects numbered five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought up all of these when the exiles went up from Babylonia to Jerusalem.
