An archaeologist recently discovered a rare clay seal impression from King Josiah's era in Temple Mount debris, bearing the name "Yeda‛yah son of Asayahu" from the 7th-6th century BC.
"Thus, the clay sealing’s owner was probably involved in Temple administration or the royal household, much like his father." Andrea Margolis is a lifestyle writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business. Readers can follow her on X at @andreamargs or send story tips to andrea.margolis@fox.com.
