Oil:

Only olive oil seems to have been used among the Hebrews. It was used for many purposes: for anointing the body or the hair (Exd 29:7; 2Sa 14:2; Psa 23:5; 92:10; 104:15; Luk 7:46); in some of the offerings (Exd 29:40; Lev 7:12; Num 6:15; 15:4), but was excluded from the sin-offering (Lev 5:11) and the jealousy-offering (Num 5:15); for burning in lamps (Exd 25:6; 27:20; Mat 25:3); for medicinal purposes (Isa 1:6; Luk 10:34; Jam 5:14); and for anointing the dead (Mat 26:12; Luk 23:56).

It was one of the most valuable products of the country (Deu 32:13; Eze 16:13), and formed an article of extensive commerce with Tyre (27:17).

The use of it was a sign of gladness (Psa 92:10; Isa 61:3), and its omission a token of sorrow (2Sa 14:2; Mat 6:17). It was very abundant in Galilee. (See OLIVE.)
