Editing Isaiah (section)

==Archaeology==
In February 2018, archaeologist [[Eilat Mazar]] announced that she and her team had discovered a small seal impression which reads "[belonging] to Isaiah nvy" (could be reconstructed and read as "[belonging] to Isaiah the prophet") during the [[Ophel]] excavations, just south of the [[Temple Mount]] in [[Jerusalem]].<ref>Mazar, Eilat.

By Amanda Borschel-Dan. The Times of Israel. 22 February 2018. Quote: "Chanced upon near a seal identified with King Hezekiah, a tiny clay piece may be the first-ever proof of the prophet, though a missing letter leaves room for doubt."</ref> Although the name "Isaiah" in the [[Paleo-Hebrew alphabet]] is unmistakable, the damage on the bottom left part of the seal causes difficulties in confirming the word "prophet" or a name "Navi", casting some doubts whether this seal really belongs to the prophet Isaiah.<ref>[https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/people-cultures-in-the-bible/people-in-the-bible/prophet-isaiah-signature-jerusalem/ "Isaiah’s Signature Uncovered in Jerusalem: Evidence of the prophet Isaiah?"] By Megan Sauter. Bible History Daily. Biblical Archeology Society. 22 Feb 2018. Quote by Mazar: "Because the bulla has been slightly damaged at end of the word ''nvy'', it is not known if it originally ended with the Hebrew letter ''aleph'', which would have resulted in the Hebrew word for "prophet" and would have definitively identified the seal as the signature of the prophet Isaiah. The absence of this final letter, however, requires that we leave open the possibility that it could just be the name Navi. The name of Isaiah, however, is clear."</ref>
