Prof. Dan'el Kahn serves as Professor of Bible and Ancient Near East in the Department of Biblical Studies at the University of Haifa.
Dr. Kahn's research focuses on the historical contexts of biblical narratives through the lens of ancient Near Eastern studies and Egyptology. His work examines political dynamics between Egypt, Canaan, and Israel during the first millennium BCE, particularly analyzing how imperial powers influenced the development of Israelite society and biblical texts. His scholarship bridges textual analysis with archaeological evidence to reconstruct historical events described in biblical accounts.
His publications reveal consistent engagement with Bronze and Iron Age political history, Assyrian military campaigns, and the interplay between archaeological findings and biblical narratives. Dr. Kahn frequently analyzes how later editorial processes shaped biblical texts to reflect contemporary historical circumstances.
As a scholar trained in both Egyptology and biblical studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, he brings interdisciplinary expertise to examining the 25th Egyptian Dynasty and its relationship with Judah and Israel. His work demonstrates how historical-critical methods can illuminate the complex political realities behind biblical accounts of kings, conquests, and diplomatic relations.
