 * five thousand.
   Instead of 5,400, the enumeration of the articles in ver. 9,
   10, only amounts to 2,499; but in the account, Esdras 2:13,
   14, the amount is 5,469, as will be evident from the following
   statements:

              In Ezra.                     In Esdras.
      Gold chargers.....     30;     Gold cups.........  1,000
      Silver ditto......  1,000;     Silver cups.......  1,000
      Knives............     29;     Silver censers....     29
      Gold basons.......     30;     Gold vials........     30
      Silver ditto......    410;     Silver vials......  2,410
      Other vessels.....  1,000;     Other vessels.....  1,000
                          _____                         _____

      Said to be........  5,400;     Total.............  5,469
      But only..........  2,499
                          _____                         _____

      Deficiency........  2,901;     Surplus...........     69

   It is supposed that they actually amounted to 5,400, but that
   only the chief of them were specified, the spoons, etc. being
   omitted.
