It held significant authority and power, symbolizing the identity and authority of its owner. The use of signets is mentioned several times throughout the Bible, reflecting their importance in ancient Near Eastern culture.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, signets were commonly used by individuals in positions of power. One of the earliest mentions is in the account of Judah and Tamar. Judah, unaware that he was dealing with his daughter-in-law Tamar, gave her his signet, cord, and staff as a pledge (<a href="/genesis/38-18.htm">Genesis 38:18</a>). This act demonstrated the signet's role as a personal identifier and a symbol of one's word and authority.<br><br>The signet also appears in the account of Joseph. Pharaoh, recognizing Joseph's wisdom and ability, elevated him to a position of power in Egypt. As a sign of this authority, Pharaoh gave Joseph his signet ring, allowing him to act with the king's authority (<a href="/genesis/41-42.htm">Genesis 41:42</a>). This transfer of the signet ring signified Joseph's new role and the trust placed in him by Pharaoh.<br><br>In the book of Esther, the signet ring plays a crucial role in the narrative. King Ahasuerus gave his signet ring to Haman, allowing him to issue decrees in the king's name (<a href="/esther/3-10.htm">Esther 3:10</a>). Later, after Haman's downfall, the king gave the signet ring to Mordecai, empowering him to write new decrees to protect the Jewish people (<a href="/esther/8-2.htm">Esther 8:2</a>). The signet ring, therefore, was a powerful tool for enacting and authenticating royal edicts.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Authority</b><br><br>The signet's significance extends beyond its practical use; it also carries symbolic meaning. In <a href="/haggai/2-23.htm">Haggai 2:23</a> , the Lord declares to Zerubbabel, "I will make you like My signet ring, for I have chosen you." Here, the signet ring symbolizes God's chosen servant, reflecting divine authority and favor. This metaphor underscores the intimate relationship between God and His chosen leaders, as well as the authority bestowed upon them.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>While the New Testament does not explicitly mention signets, the concept of sealing is present. The Apostle Paul speaks of believers being "sealed with the promised Holy Spirit" (<a href="/ephesians/1-13.htm">Ephesians 1:13</a>). This sealing signifies ownership, protection, and authenticity, akin to the function of a signet in ancient times.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b><br><br>In the ancient Near East, signets were typically engraved with unique designs or inscriptions, often bearing the name or emblem of the owner. They were used to impress a mark onto clay or wax, securing the contents of a document or item. The signet's design was unique to its owner, making it a personal and non-transferable symbol of identity and authority.<br><br>Signets were often worn as rings, which made them easily accessible for use. The wearing of a signet ring was a visible sign of one's status and authority, and losing or giving away a signet could have significant implications, as seen in the biblical narratives.<br><br>In summary, the signet in biblical times was a powerful symbol of authority, identity, and authenticity. Its use in the Bible highlights the importance of trust, responsibility, and the transfer of power, both in human and divine contexts.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A seal used to attest documents (<a href="/daniel/6-8.htm">Dan. 6:8</a>-10, 12). In 6:17, this word properly denotes a ring. The impression of a signet ring on fine clay has recently been discovered among the ruins at Nineveh. It bears the name and title of an Egyptian king. Two actual signet rings of ancient Egyptian monarchs (Cheops and Horus) have also been discovered.<p>When digging a shaft close to the south wall of the temple area, the engineers of the Palestine Exploration Fund, at a depth of 12 feet below the surface, came upon a pavement of polished stones, formerly one of the streets of the city. Under this pavement they found a stratum of 16 feet of concrete, and among this concrete, 10 feet down, they found a signet stone bearing the inscription, in Old Hebrew characters, "Haggai, son of Shebaniah." It has been asked, Might not this be the actual seal of Haggai the prophet? We know that he was in Jerusalem after the Captivity; and it is somewhat singular that he alone of all the minor prophets makes mention of a signet (<a href="/haggai/2-23.htm">Haggai 2:23</a>).
