The paper addresses the group of temple singers, collectively known as Asaphites. They derived from the Northern Kingdom, but, after its fall in 721 B.C., they moved to the Southern Kingdom where they joined the temple service in Jerusalem. After the temple destruction in 586 B.C., they were resettled to Babylon where they continued their activity. After returning from the exile to Jerusalem, they became actively involved in restoring cult at the temple. The first part of the paper describes the features confirming the homogeneity of the Psalms of Asaph (Ps 50 and 70-83), while the next part focuses on the School of Asaph and the last one on Asaphites as guardians of tradition.

1–2 Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah express a different approach to the future of Israel to that provided in the Earlier Prophets. Firstly, the nature and the dating of this part of the Hebrew Bible are discussed, suggesting the end of the fifth and the very beginning of the fourth century B.C. as the time of its origins. Secondly, the retrospect of the past in 1–2 Chronicles is presented with a very specific attitude towards the Exile. The article focuses on the detailed analysis of Ezra 4:1–5, a passage representing the very core of this book. Against the backdrop of the identity of the deputation visiting Jerusalem as seen by the author of Ezra and the completely different self-presentation of the envoys from the north, the serious conflict that ensues is described. It bears analogies with the former antagonisms and tensions between the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom of Israel. On the basis of this conflict, a new reality emerges, namely Judaism. The religion of the preexilic Israel was profoundly transformed, having been exclusively limited to those Judeans who had come back from the Exile. As a result of this separation, the question of the “true Israel” became more crucial, setting new direction for the project of the national and religious identity of biblical Israel.

This article presents the detailed exegesis of the text of Esd 4,1-5. First,the place of this text in the structure of the Book of Esdra is described andthe translation into Polish is given. Then, detailed remarks follow regardingall the verses included. Verse 1 gives the identity of the delegation comingto Jerusalem as seen by the author of the Book of Esdra. Verse 2 preservesthe self-presentation of the delegates from the north, and the article stressesthe fact that they were believers in YHWH. The answer given in v. 3 by theJerusalem authorities is analysed in detail. Verses 4-5 describe the conflictwith “the people of the land”, in many respects having analogies with similarantagonisms between Jerusalem and Judah and the population of the formerKingdom of Israel. By the end of the article some important conclusions areproposed, among them the question as to whether the Jerusalem authoritieswould accept the proposal of collaboration in the cult existing in Jerusalempresented immediately after 539 by the delegates coming from the north.The crucial question regards the long-lasting and still valid issue of theidentity of the “true Israel”.

The Book of Ezekiel proposes a new look at the land of Israel from the perspective of its subjecthood. The theological novelty of this approach lies in the process of the anthropomorphization of the land, which can be seen especially in the oracles addressed to the land. The analysis of these oracles tries to shed some light on three aspects of the land of Israel, namely its subjecthood, its relativity and the role it plays in, and for, the world.

The article deals with the argument of W. Chrostowski about the Assyrian Israelite Diaspora as a factor influencing the book of Ezekiel. First, the author verifies the Ezekielian texts evoked by Chrostowski as arguments for his thesis (garden of Eden motif; “the 30th year” in Ezek 1:1; subjects participating in the dispute about the possession of the promised land in Ezek 11:14-17; allusion to Samaria in Ezek 23; the vision of dry bones in Ezek 37:1-14). The second part of the article examines the possibility of existence of the Assyrian Diaspora in the light of biblical and extra-biblical sources. The analysis of the situation of the Israelites deported to Assyria after the fall of Samaria in 722 B.C.E. (especially in the context of the population and religion politics of the Assyrian Empire) permits to exclude the existence of the Assyrian Israelite Diaspora and the claim that it could not only preserve, but also deepen and strengthen its identity. The third part of the article argues that the audience of Ezekiel does not derive from the descendants of the Israelites exiled to Assyria. Thus, the book of Ezekiel is the testimony written for those who experienced the Babylonian exile only.

The article opposes the main thesis of W. Pikor who argues against the existence and crucial importance of the Israelite Diaspora in Assyria and against viewing it as an important factor seriously influencing the message of the prophet Ezekiel and his book. In the first part of the article its author scrutinizes the Ezechielian texts questioned by W. Pikor as direct or indirect arguments for the existence of the Assyrian Diaspora. In the second part the possible existence of the Assyrian Diaspora is examined, taking that the Book of Ezekiel bears witness to the Babylonian Diaspora of the Judean exiles, who in the first decades of the sixth century B.C. met the descendants of the Israelites exiled to Assyria at the end of the eight century B.C. The message of Ezekiel, as it may be known from his book, answers the questions and challenges which resulted from an unprecedented meeting of two different, but at the same time cognate groups, namely the Israelites and Judeans, preparing thus the ground for the idea of the renewed “new Israel”.

The Book of Ezekiel is one of the scriptures, that is not often read in the liturgy of the Mass. The message of the scripture is not however secondary. The book was written during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC. The writing refers to the intricate history of Israel: the breaking of the covenant with Yahweh, and the consequences of these events. Israel has been called a rebel people (Ez 2; 3). The nation was burdened with sins that extended to all of the past of the nation (Ez 16; 20; 23). Ezekiel was called to explain to the exiles the current state of Israel in Babylon. The prophet foretells judgment, but after that judgment will follow the restoration of the nation. The structure of the book includes the following parts: introduction (Ez 1:1-3:15), oracles against Israel (Ez 3:16-24:27), oracles against foreign nations (Ez 25:1-32:32), oracles about salvation (Ez 33:1-48:35). The text of Ezekiel 40-48 has the special character (the second vision of the temple). The writing is not a catastrophic work (although it contains such pictures), it is a book of the hope. It was the experience of Ezekiel who shared his thoughts not only with his compatriots, but with the every person of the world.
PL
Księga Ezechiela nie należy do pism często czytanych w liturgii mszalnej. Jej orędzie nie jest jednak drugorzędne. Pismo powstało w okresie wygnania babilońskiego, w VI w. przed Chr. Odnosi się do zawiłej historii dziejów Izraela, zerwania przymierza z Jahwe i do konsekwencji wynikających z tych wydarzeń. Izrael został nazwany ludem buntowniczym (Ez 2, 3). Był obciążony grzechami, które sięgały całej przeszłości narodu (Ez 16; 20; 23). Ezechiel został powołany, aby wytłumaczyć zesłańcom aktualny stan, w jakim się znalazł Izrael w Babilonii. Zapowiada sąd, lecz po nim nastąpi odnowa narodu. Struktura Księgi zawiera następujące części: wstęp (Ez 1, 1-3, 15), wyrocznie przeciwko Izraelowi (Ez 3, 16-24, 27), wyrocznie przeciw obcym narodom (Ez 25, 1-32, 32), wyrocznie o zbawieniu (Ez 33, 1-48, 35). Zwraca się również uwagę na szczególny charakter tekstu Ez 40-48 (druga wizja świątyni). Księga Ezechiela ostrzega przed katastrofą, jaką człowiek sam sobie gotuje. Nie jest jednak dziełem katastroficznym (choć zawiera takie obrazy), jest pismem nadziei. Odpowiada na najgłębsze oczekiwania człowieka, który zrzucając maskę, ma odwagę przyznać się do swojej małości i przyjąć rękę Jahwe. Było to doświadczenie Ezechiela, który podzielił się swoimi przeżyciami nie tylko z najbliższym otoczeniem, lecz także poprzez swą Księgę – z każdym poszukującym człowiekiem.
