Signet: A seal used to attest documents
(Daniel 6:8-10,12) In
(Daniel 6:17) this
word properly denotes a ring. The impression of a signet ring on fine
clay has recently been discovered among the ruins at Nineveh. It bears
the name and title of an Egyptian king. Two actual signet rings of
ancient Egyptian monarchs (Cheops and Horus) have also been
discovered. When digging a shaft close to the south wall of the temple
area, the engineers of the Palestine Exploration Fund, at a depth of
12 feet below the surface, came upon a pavement of polished stones,
formerly one of the streets of the city. Under this pavement they
found a stratum of 16 feet of concrete, and among this concrete, 10
feet down, they found a signet stone bearing the inscription, in Old
Hebrew characters, "Haggai, son of Shebaniah." It has been asked,
Might not this be the actual seal of Haggai the prophet? We know that
he was in Jerusalem after the Captivity; and it is somewhat singular
that he alone of all the minor prophets makes mention of a signet
(Haggai 2:23)
