In the ancient Near East, oil was a valuable commodity used for various purposes, including anointing, offerings, and as a fuel source for lamps. The term גּל is specifically used to denote a vessel or container designed to hold oil. This usage underscores the importance of oil in religious and daily life in biblical times.
