The Seal of Gadalyahu

Pictured above is the bulla, or seal impression, bearing the name of Gedalyahu ben Pashur that was recently found in Jerusalem (click here). Gadalyahu was a minister of King Zedekiah, and is mentioned in Jeremiah 38:1-4. The bulla was found by Eilat Mazar's dig at the City of David site, just meters away from the locale where three years ago a separate seal impression of another of Zedekia's ministers, Yehukual ben Shelemyahu, which was unearthed.
