Bulla Seal from First Temple Priest Immer
Pictured here is a seal impression dating to the 7th century BCE. The inscription reads: “Belonging to Galyahu [son of] Immer.” dating to the 7th century BCE. Immer's other son, Pashur, is mentioned in Jeremiah 20:1
Pashhur son of Immer, the priest who was chief officer of the House of the L-RD, heard Jeremiah prophesy these things.
The Immers were a well-known family of priests at the end of the First Temple period. Archaeologist Tzahi Dvira of the Temple Mount sifting project said, “This seal was used to stamp luxury items that were kept in the treasury of the Temple, which was administered by the priests. This stamp seal is the first Hebrew inscription that was ever discovered from the First Temple and constitutes direct evidence of the administrative activity of the First Temple priests.”
