And Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord,
 &c.] Or ordered them to be brought forth: 
 which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem;
 out of the temple there, when he took it and burnt it: 
 and had put them in the house of his gods;
 in the temple of Belus at Babylon, see ( 2 Chronicles 36:7 ) ( Daniel 1:2 ) ( Daniel 5:2 Daniel 5:3 ) , by which means they were providentially preserved.
