Jacob Milgrom
Jacob Milgrom was an American twentieth century Old Testament scholar, working within a largely critical academic tradition.
He is widely known for exhaustive work on Leviticus, especially on purity, sacrifice, and priestly instruction. His detail can clarify ritual terminology and ancient practice, but we will need to read with discernment and keep the book’s covenant and worship logic in view, rather than treating it as mere anthropology.
He remains valued for sheer thoroughness, even when we do not share his assumptions, and his work can still sharpen careful exposition when used wisely.
Recommended titles include Leviticus 1 to 16 in Word Biblical Commentary, Leviticus 17 to 27 in Word Biblical Commentary, and his studies on Leviticus and Israelite worship.
