Jacob Milgrom
Jacob Milgrom (February 1, 1923 – June 5, 2010) was a prominent American Jewish
Bible scholar and
Conservative rabbi. Milgrom's major contribution to biblical research was in the field of cult and worship. Although he accepted the
documentary hypothesis, contrary to the classical bible critics, he traced a direct line of development from the
Priestly Code (P), to the
Holiness Code (H), to the cultic innovations of Ezekiel, to the cultic writings of the Dead Sea sect and finally to Jewish law (halacha) of the Mishnah and Talmud. Best known for his comprehensive
Torah commentaries and work on the
Dead Sea Scrolls, he also published extensively on the
Book of Ezekiel.
