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 is the number of them: thirty gold platters, one thousand silver platters, twenty-nine knives,
10 thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a similar kind, and one thousand other articles.
11 All the articles of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with the captives who were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.
