Mishnah 3 (מִשְׁנָה ג׳)

These are the vessels which the earth took (אֵלוּ הַכֵּלִים לָקְחָה הָאָרֶץ): the bars, and the pegs, the boards, and the rings, and the pillars of the courtyard (הַבְּרִיחִים וְהַיְּתֵדוֹת הַקְּרָשִׁים וְהַטַּבָּעוֹת וַעֲמוּדֵי הֶחָצֵר). These are the vessels: silver bowls, one hundred and twenty ten-thousands (אֵלֶּה הַכֵּלִים מִזְרְקֵי כֶסֶף מֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִים רִבּוֹא), bowls of fine gold, fifty ten-thousands (מִזְרְקֵי זָהָב טוֹב חֲמִשָּׁה רִבּוֹא), of fine gold, sixty ten-thousands (שֶׁל זָהָב טוֹב שִׁשִּׁים רִבּוֹא), and of silver, one hundred and twenty ten-thousands (וְשֶׁל כֶּסֶף מֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִים רִבּוֹא). And these five wrote these Mishnayot in Babylon (וַחֲמִשָּׁה אֵלּוּ כָּתְבוּ אֵלּוּ הַמִּשְׁנָיוֹת בְּבָבֶל), and the other prophets who were with them (וּשְׁאָר נְבִיאִים שֶׁהָיוּ עִמָּהֶם), and Ezra the Kohen, the scribe (וְעֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן הַסּוֹפֵר).
