Two bullae (seal impressions) found during archeological excavations of Nehemiah's wall [the original wall had been built by David, then was torn down during Jeremiah's time, and rebuilt by Nehemiah] are bringing the Book of Jeremiah back to life.

The first bullae surfaced in King David’s palace during the opening season of excavation bears the name Yehuchal [or Jucal in English] ben Shelemyahu [shelemiah].”

The second bullae was found in the First Temple period strata underneath Nehemiah’s Northern Tower, just a few yards away from the first, and reads “Gedalyahu [Gedaliah] ben Pashur.”

Seal impressions found in the locations where the Bible accounts say those men would have been is fascinating, and offers yet further physical evidence of these Biblical books being truthful, as they prove that these men, by name, existed, and at that time they did carry authority.

For the story of David see 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles

For the story of Jeremiah see 2 Chronicles 36, Ezra 1:1, the book of Jeremiah chapters 1 thru 52

For the story of Nehemiah see the book of Nehemiah chapters 1 thru 13

Jucal the son of Shelemiah was a minister of the king and is listed in Jeremiah 38.

Gedaliah the son of Pashur was also a minister of the King and is listed in Jeremiah 38.
