guy Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 (edited) A seal from the First Temple period has been unearthed in Jerusalem. The First Temple (Solomon’s Temple) stood in Jerusalem from the 10th to 6th centuries BCE. Over 50 seals from this era have reportedly been discovered. Quote The seal, thought to be an amulet or tool for sealing legal documents is estimated to be around 2,700 years old and is inscribed with the name “LeYehoʼezer ben Hoshʼayahu” (meaning Yehoʼezer, the son of Hoshʼayahu) in paleo-Hebrew script. Quote The seal also has a carved winged figure wearing a long, striped shirt, and striding towards the right. The figure has a mane of long curls covering the nape of the neck, and on its head is a hat – or a crown. https://www.heritagedaily.com/2024/08/rare-first-temple-period-seal-discovered-in-jerusalem/153341 Background information about Solomon's Temple: Edited August 30 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
