I must apologize. I retract my earlier critisism.. I read 11th century as 11 BC. My bad and my humble apologies. Crow for supper! Again,respectfully and much more humbly,Phil Deisher

I am bothered by the statement in the third paragraph that states the time of this seal(2nd paragraph),11 BC. The Israelites were led by judges in the period between Moses and King Saul,that would date to roughly 700 to 1000 BC. ( this is just a rough guess on my part). 11BC would be in the inter-testament period just prior to the birth of Christ. During the 11 century BC,Israel was already occupied by the Roman empire. You may want to check your dates or explain the date more clearly. Respectfully,Phil Deisher
