Abstract
In the 1980’s, during the Benjamin Region Survey, an as yet unpublished graffito of a sevenbranched menorah from a tomb on the outskirts of the village of Mukhmas was discovered. This study discusses the find and its implications as well as suggesting that the village of Mukhmas was a priestly settlement during the Second Temple period.
