High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yochanan Muffs (June 3, 1932 - December 6, 2009) was an American-Jewish professor of Bible and religion at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Muffs made major contributions in biblical studies, Semitic languages, the history of the ancient Near East, and Jewish religion and thought. He strove to reach an understanding of biblical text through comparative philological study. His first book, Studies in the Aramaic Legal Papyri from Elephantine, published in 1969, has been described as a "watershed work." Muffs analyzed legal documents from a colony of Jewish families in fifth century BCE, using comparative evidence from Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Jewish and other legal sources to further understanding of life in those days.
