First Temple Seal is found in Jerusalem

In the Biblical book of Nehemiah, there is talk of the first keepers of the temple, the Temech family. This family was sent into exile during the Babylonian occupation.

This archeological find is extremely exciting in the Biblical studies world. It is a direct connection between Biblical scripture and archeological proof. Below is a picture of the seal. The link to the story can be found HERE.
