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 Now these were the inventories: thirty gold metal dishes, one thousand silver metal dishes, twenty-nine vessels,
10 thirty bowls of gold, four hundred and ten matching silver metal bowls, and one thousand other objects.
11 All of the objects of gold and silver metal [were] five thousand four hundred. All this Sheshbazzar brought up along with the exiles from Babylonia to Jerusalem.
