Context

Cyrus Restores the Holy Vessels

⁹This was the inventory: 30 gold dishes, 1,000 silver dishes, 29 silver utensils, ¹⁰30 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other articles.

Summary

In Ezra 1:10, the verse describes the generosity of King Cyrus of Persia towards the Jewish exiles by returning the articles of the Lord's temple that were taken by Nebuchadnezzar. This act of restoration signifies the beginning of the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people and their worship. It demonstrates how God can move the hearts of even pagan rulers to accomplish His divine purposes. The return of these sacred items symbolizes the renewal of the covenant between God and His people, paving the way for the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem.

John Gill Bible Commentary

Thirty basins of gold,.... Cups or dishes with covers, as the word seems to signify; but, according to Jarchi and Aben Ezra, they were vessels in which the blood of sacrifices was received, and out of which it was sprinkled on the altar: silver basins of a second sort four hundred and ten; perhaps lesser than the other, however not so valuable, being of silver; in the Apocrypha:"And this was the number of them; A thousand golden cups, and a thousand of silver, censers of silver twenty nine, vials of gold thirty, and of silver two thousand four hundred and ten, and a thousand other vessels.'' (1 Esdras 2:13)the number is 2410; and in the letter of Cyrus, before referred to, it is 2400: and other vessels a thousand; which are not particularly mentioned; Junius and Tremellius render the words: other vessels by thousands, there being near 3000 that are not described.
