SEAL - S>@ - The importance attached to seals in the East is so great that without one no document is regarded as authentic. Among the methods of sealing used in Egypt at a very early period were engraved stones, graved stones, pierced through their length and hung by a string or chain from the arm or neck, or set in rings for the finger. The most ancient form used for this purpose was the scarabaeus, formed of precious or common stone, or even of blue pottery or porcelain, on the flat side of which the inscription or device was engraved. In many cases the seal consisted of a lump of clay, impressed with the seal and attached to the document, whether of papyrus or other material, by strings. In other cases wax was used. In sealing a sepulchre or box, the fastening was covered with clay or wax, and the impression from a seal of one in authority was stamped upon it, so that it could not be broken open without discovery. The signet-ring was an ordinary part of a man’s equipment. kjv@Genesis:38:18) The ring or the seal as an emblem of authority in Egypt, Persia and elsewhere is mentioned in kjv@Genesis:41:42; kjv@Kings:21:8; kjv@Esther:3:10-12 kjv@Esther:8:2; kjv@Daniel:6:17) and as an evidence of a covenant, in kjv@Jeremiah:32:10 kjv@Jeremiah:32:44 kjv@Nehemiah:9:38 kjv@Nehemiah:10:1; kjv@Haggai:2:23) Engraved signets were in use among the Hebrews in early times. kjv@Exodus:28:11-36 kjv@Exodus:39:6)

Seal @ commonly a ring engraved with some device kjv@Genesis:38:18 kjv@Genesis:38:25). Jezebel "wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal" (kjvKings:21:8). Seals are frequently mentioned in Jewish history kjv@Deuteronomy:32:34; kjv@Nehemiah:9:38 kjv@Nehemiah:10:1; kjv@Esther:3:12; Cant. kjv@8:6; Isaiah:8:16; kjv@Jeremiah:22:24 kjv@Jeremiah:32:44, etc.). Sealing a document was equivalent to the signature of the owner of the seal. "The use of a signet-ring by the monarch has recently received a remarkable illustration by the discovery of an impression of such a signet on fine clay at Koyunjik, the site of the ancient Nineveh. This seal appears to have been impressed from the bezel of a metallic finger-ring. It is an oval, 2 inches in length by 1 inch wide, and bears the image, name, and titles of the Egyptian king Sabaco" (Rawlinson's Hist. Illus. of the O.T., p. 46). The actual signet-rings of two Egyptian kings (Cheops and Horus) have been discovered. (
See SIGNET.) The use of seals is mentioned in the New Testament only in connection with the record of our Lord's burial kjv@Matthew:27:66). The tomb was sealed by the Pharisees and chief priests for the purpose of making sure that the disciples would not come and steal the body away (ver. 63, 64). The mode of doing this was probably by stretching a cord across the stone and sealing it at both ends with sealing-clay. When God is said to have sealed the Redeemer, the meaning is, that he has attested his divine mission kjv@John:6:27). Circumcision is a seal, an attestation of the covenant kjv@Romans:4:11). Believers are sealed with the Spirit, as God's mark put upon them kjv@Ephesians:1:13 kjv@Ephesians:4:30). Converts are by Paul styled the seal of his apostleship, i.e., they are its attestation ( kjv@1Corinthians:9:2). Seals and sealing are frequently mentioned in the book of Revelation (5:1; kjv@6:1; 7:3; 10:4; 22:10).
