A seal dating to the eighth century BC was discovered in northern Israel during excavations associated with highway construction at the Ein Tut Interchange. The light brown stone seal is carved with four pomegranates and bears the inscription, “Belonging to Makhach (son of) Amihai.” Jar handles bearing the famous LMLK (“belonging to the king”) seal impression, along with the names of cities such as Hebron and Ziph, helped date the site. Archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority believe this newly discovered seal was used by a government official in the kingdom of Judah.
