The newly found seal of Hezekiah.
This week the internet exploded when archaeologists found a seal from Hezekiah in Jerusalem. The seal contains the phrase לחזקיהו [בן] אחז מלך יהדה–at least I’m trusting the person who knows paleo-Hebrew script to have that correct! The translation is “Belonging to Hezekiah, son of Ahaz, King of Judah.” What an exciting find! Of course this doesn’t “prove” that the Bible is true, and especially does not prove that God made the heavens and the earth. We need a different epistemology to have knowledge of those facts. But this is still super cool!
The new Hezekiah seal found; find the Hebrew text here Share on XI’m curious about the two-winged sun in the middle. If anyone knows what that is, please comment and inform me. For more information on the story, see here.
