Ezra (2 Esdras) 1:11
"All the gold and silver vessels were five thousand four hundred, [even] all that went up with Sasabasar from the [place of] transportation, from Babylon to Jerusalem."
Do the temple inventory numbers in Ezra 1:9-11 add up?
The passage lists several types of silver and gold items, the particulars of which add up to 2,499 items; but the passage ends by saying that 5,400 items were counted. 2,499 does not equal 5,400. However, the list of particular items is not said to be exhaustive. Assuming a contradiction requires reading into the text an exhaustiveness that is not explicitly stated.
