SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:11
Todos los vasos de oro y de plata, cinco mil cuatrocientos. Todos los hizo llevar Sesbasar con los que subieron del cautiverio de Babilonia a Jerusalén.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 1:11
Verse 11. All the vessels-were five thousand and four hundred.] This place is without doubt corrupted; here it is said the sum of all the vessels, of every quality and kind, was five thousand four hundred; but the enumeration of the articles, as given in ver. 9, 10, gives the sum of two thousand four hundred and ninety-nine only. But we can correct this account from 1Esdras ii. 13, 14. I shall set both accounts down, that they may be compared together. Ezra, ver. 9-11.
Golden chargers 30 Silver chargers 1000 Knives 29 Golden basons 30 Silver ditto, second sort 410 Other vessels 1000 Said to be 5400 only 2499 Difference of the first account from itself.. 2901 1 ESDRAS, 1Esdras ii. 13, 14.
Golden cups 1000 Silver cups. 1000 Silver censers 29 Golden vials 30 Silver vials 2410 Other vessels 1000 Total 5469 Difference of the second account from the first According, therefore, to the sum total in Ezra, the sum total in Esdras is only 69 different. See the next chapter.
It may be said that the vessels did actually amount to 5400, and that the chief of them only were intended to be specified; and these happen to amount to 2499; but that it was not the design of Ezra to insert the whole; and that the ninth verse should be considered as stating, And of the chief of them, that is, the gold and silver articles, this is the number. But the expression in chap. i. 10, other vessels, sets this conjecture aside: the place is most manifestly corrupted.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. All the vessels of gold, and of silver, were five thousand and four hundred , etc.] Those that are mentioned make no more than 2499, which Aben Ezra thinks were the larger vessels; but this general sum takes in great and small, as in ( 2 Chronicles 36:18) in the letter of Cyrus, before mentioned, these vessels are more particularly described, and their several numbers given, which together amount to the exact number in the text, 5400; the apocryphal Ezra makes them 5469: all these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity, that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem : of whom there is a large and particular account in the following chapter.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-11 - The same God that raised up the spirit of Cyrus to proclaim liberty to the Jews, raised up their spirits to take the benefit. The temptatio was to some to stay in Babylon; but some feared not to return, and the were those whose spirits God raised, by his Spirit and grace. Whateve good we do, is owing to the grace of God. Our spirits naturally bo down to this earth and the things of it; if they move upward in an good affections or good actions, it is God who raises them. The call and offers of the gospel are like the proclamation of Cyrus. Thos bound under the power of sin, may be made free by Jesus Christ Whosoever will, by repentance and faith, return to God, Jesus Chris has opened the way for him, and raises him out of the slavery of sin into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Many that hear thi joyful sound, choose to sit still in Babylon, are in love with their sins, and will not venture upon a holy life; but some break through all discouragements, whatever it cost them; they are those whose spirit God has raised above the world and the flesh, whom he has made willing Thus will the heavenly Canaan be filled, though many perish in Babylon and the gospel offer will not have been made in vain. The bringing bac the Jews from captivity, represents the redemption of sinners by Jesu Christ __________________________________________________________________
