Description
Summary:This article presents 23 new readings for official seal impressions found on lmlk (Lachish Type 484) jar handles. In previous publications these seal impressions were regarded as indecipherable or were misread. The new readings presented here comprise approximately 15 percent of the published official seal impressions and provide essential new data useful for reexamining these impressions. In presenting these new readings, the authors adopt a paradigm set for the publication of epigraphic cuneiform texts and adapt this paradigm for the documentation of Hebrew seals. This analysis includes epigraphically significant photographs, facsimiles, a transcription, and epigraphic commentary.
