Commentary
1 note on this verseThis site's exposition
thirty chargers of gold
on Ezra 1:9-11
The inventory itemizes gold chargers, silver chargers, knives, basons and other vessels before the record totals five thousand four hundred pieces of gold and silver in all. The individual numbers listed do not sum to the stated total in the Hebrew text as it stands, a detail the commentators note without pretending to settle it. Sheshbazzar brings up every vessel with the exiles who come from Babylon to Jerusalem, the chapter closing where it began, a king's decree turned into a counted, carried, delivered inheritance.
