This small jar, which is about 6000 years old was excavated in Hebron, a very important Biblical city. The Bible tells us that Abraham, Sarah, and David lived in Hebron. In fact, Hebron was where David reigned for the first seven years until he conquered Jerusalem. Today, you can visit the the Tomb of the Patriarchs, which has long been revered as the burial place of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah.
