In the context of the return from exile, it underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people and their sacred items. The Hebrew root here conveys a sense of wholeness and completion, reflecting God's faithfulness in restoring what was lost.<p><b>there were 5,400</b><br />The specific number of articles, 5,400, highlights the precision and care with which the inventory was taken. Numbers in the Bible often carry symbolic meaning, and while the exact significance of 5,400 is not explicitly stated, it suggests abundance and the meticulous nature of God's provision. Historically, this enumeration underscores the importance of the temple treasures and their role in worship.<p><b>gold and silver articles</b><br />Gold and silver were precious metals used extensively in the construction and adornment of the temple, symbolizing purity, value, and divine glory. The return of these articles signifies the restoration of true worship and the re-establishment of the temple's sanctity. Biblically, gold often represents kingship and divinity, while silver can symbolize redemption.<p><b>Sheshbazzar</b><br />Sheshbazzar is identified as the leader of the first group of returning exiles. His name, possibly of Babylonian origin, suggests a connection to the royal line of Judah, possibly a prince or governor. His role in leading the exiles and transporting the temple treasures highlights the continuity of leadership and God's providential care in guiding His people back to their homeland.<p><b>brought all these along</b><br />This phrase emphasizes the careful and deliberate action of transporting the sacred items. It reflects the responsibility and reverence with which Sheshbazzar and the exiles approached their task. The Hebrew verb used here conveys a sense of carrying or bearing a burden, indicating the weight of responsibility in restoring the temple's glory.<p><b>when the exiles went up</b><br />The phrase "went up" is significant in biblical language, often used to describe the act of ascending to Jerusalem, which is geographically elevated. Spiritually, it denotes an act of pilgrimage and return to a place of divine presence. The exiles' return marks a pivotal moment of renewal and hope, fulfilling prophetic promises of restoration.<p><b>from Babylon to Jerusalem</b><br />This journey from Babylon to Jerusalem is not just a physical relocation but a profound spiritual return to the heart of Israel's faith. Babylon, a place of exile and captivity, contrasts with Jerusalem, the city of God and center of worship. This transition symbolizes liberation, redemption, and the re-establishment of covenantal relationship with God. Historically, it marks the end of the Babylonian captivity and the beginning of a new chapter in Israel's history.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezra/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">All the vessels were five thousand and four hundred.</span> The numbers previously given produce a total of only 2499, or less than half of this amount.
