And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God.
Also, let the gold and silver vessels that belong to God's house, the ones that Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be given back and returned to the temple in Jerusalem. Put each one back in its proper place in God's house.
This verse commands that all the sacred gold and silver items stolen from Jerusalem's temple by Nebuchadnezzar should be returned to their rightful place in God's house.
📚 Historical Context
In the 6th century BC, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple, and carried off its sacred golden and silver vessels as spoils of war, leading to the exile of the Jewish people to Babylon. Decades later, under Persian rule, King Darius confirmed a decree to rebuild the Temple, which included ordering the return of these vessels to Jerusalem as a sign of God's ongoing providence and the restoration of His worship. This act symbolized the reversal of the Babylonian conquest and the reestablishment of Jewish religious life.
