* 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.
