description: "John Hyrcanus was a Jewish high priest and ruler of Judea from the Hasmonean dynasty. In rabbinic literature he is often referred to as Yoḥanan Cohen Gadol, \"John the High Priest\". John combined political and religious authority and secured Judea's independence from Seleucid control. His reign consolidated the Hasmonean state, expanded its territorial boundaries, and incorporated neighboring populations, laying the foundation for the policies and territorial expansions of subsequent Hasmonean rulers."
