The first return is prepared

The families, priests, and Levites prepare to return, and Cyrus restores the temple vessels to Sheshbazzar. The departure’s exact Creation-year and month placement remains under review.

King James Version

Ezra 1:5–6, 11

Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem. And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered. All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
