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”.
