| Summary: | Ezra 4:1–5 narrates the first encounter of the golah with the “other,” after the golah arrive in the land.

A narrative analysis reveals that the “other” group includes all and any non-golah people. Claims for participation in the building by the “other,” and refusal by the golah leaders, are ultimately based on their cultic differences. |
