This type of jug was typically used for dipping from a larger jug. The larger jug had a spout and another raised area where this jug would sit, for storage.

​Hebron is a very important city, one of the oldest in Israel. The Bible states that Abraham lived in Hebron at one point and King David reigned from Hebron for the first seven years. This jar, theoretically, could have been used at the time of David's reign.
