A New Seal Found In The Old City Of Jerusalem
A new biblical seal has been uncovered in the Old City of Jerusalem. The Hebrew name on the seal is "Shlomit" and may have belonged to a women! If true this is exciting evidence of women's involvement in the Palace Administration of the King's of Judah, and tells us that women held positions of authority! The cultic scene on the seal is reminiscent of Babylonian icons and teaches us more about the connection with Judah and the Babylonian Empire.
