In the Hebrew context, gold is often associated with purity, divinity, and kingship. The bowls, likely used in temple rituals, symbolize the restoration of worship and the re-establishment of the covenant relationship between God and His people. The number thirty can also be seen as a symbol of maturity and responsibility, indicating the readiness of the Israelites to resume their sacred duties.<p><b>four hundred ten matching silver bowls</b><br />Silver, in biblical symbolism, often represents redemption and truth. The "four hundred ten matching silver bowls" suggest a substantial collection of items necessary for the temple's function. The precision in the number and the fact that they are "matching" underscores the order and meticulousness in God's plan for restoration. Historically, silver was a common medium of exchange, and its abundance here reflects the generosity of King Cyrus's decree and the providence of God in ensuring the temple's needs are met.<p><b>a thousand other articles</b><br />The phrase "a thousand other articles" indicates the vastness and diversity of the temple treasures being returned. The number one thousand in biblical terms often signifies completeness or abundance. This reflects the comprehensive nature of God's provision and the thoroughness of the restoration process. It also highlights the importance of every item, no matter how small, in the worship and service of God, reminding believers of the value of each contribution to the faith community.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezra/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Of a second sort.</span> Not "double," as the LXX. render; but "secondary," or "of inferior quality" (comp. <a href="/1_samuel/15-9.htm">1 Samuel 15:9</a> where <span class="accented">mishnim</span> has the same meaning). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezra/1-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">30</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁלֹשִׁ֔ים</span> <span class="translit">(šə·lō·šîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7970.htm">Strong's 7970: </a> </span><span class="str2">Thirty, thirtieth</span><br /><br /><span class="word">gold</span><br /><span class="heb">זָהָב֙</span> <span class="translit">(zā·hāḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2091.htm">Strong's 2091: </a> </span><span class="str2">Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear sky</span><br /><br /><span class="word">bowls,</span><br /><span class="heb">כְּפוֹרֵ֤י</span> <span class="translit">(kə·p̄ō·w·rê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3713.htm">Strong's 3713: </a> </span><span class="str2">A cover, a tankard, white frost</span><br /><br /><span class="word">410</span><br /><span class="heb">אַרְבַּ֥ע</span> <span class="translit">(’ar·ba‘)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - feminine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_702.htm">Strong's 702: </a> </span><span class="str2">Four</span><br /><br /><span class="word">matching</span><br /><span class="heb">מִשְׁנִ֔ים</span> <span class="translit">(miš·nîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4932.htm">Strong's 4932: </a> </span><span class="str2">A repetition, a duplicate, a double, a second</span><br /><br /><span class="word">silver</span><br /><span class="heb">כֶ֙סֶף֙</span> <span class="translit">(ḵe·sep̄)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3701.htm">Strong's 3701: </a> </span><span class="str2">Silver, money</span><br /><br /><span class="word">bowls,</span><br /><span class="heb">כְּפ֤וֹרֵי</span> <span class="translit">(kə·p̄ō·w·rê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3713.htm">Strong's 3713: </a> </span><span class="str2">A cover, a tankard, white frost</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and 1,000</span><br /><span class="heb">אָֽלֶף׃</span> <span class="translit">(’ā·lep̄)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_505.htm">Strong's 505: </a> </span><span class="str2">A thousand</span><br /><br /><span class="word">other</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲחֵרִ֖ים</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·ḥê·rîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_312.htm">Strong's 312: </a> </span><span class="str2">Hinder, next, other</span><br /><br /><span class="word">articles.</span><br /><span class="heb">כֵּלִ֥ים</span> <span class="translit">(kê·lîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3627.htm">Strong's 3627: </a> </span><span class="str2">Something prepared, any apparatus</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/ezra/1-10.htm">Ezra 1:10 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/ezra/1-10.htm">OT History: Ezra 1:10 Thirty bowls of gold silver bowls (Ezr.
