    In Ezra 5:14 and Ezra 6:5, the Hiphil perfect form occurs in the account of gold and silver vessels brought out from the Jerusalem temple and carried to Babylon. In Ezra 7:15, the Hiphil infinitive construct introduces the bringing of silver and gold offered to the God of Israel; the APB renders the clause "And to bring silver and gold."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the perfect-form clauses with "brought out" in Ezra 5:14 and Ezra 6:5, and renders the infinitive clause "to bring" in Ezra 7:15. These renderings confirm the verses' movement of valuables without isolating every contribution of the term.
