Mentioned in 187 verses (KJV)
Oil
Description
Olive oil fueled lamps, cooked food, and anointed kings and priests — one product doing the work of fuel, food, and ceremony all at once. A widow’s single small jar of it, at Elijah’s word, kept refilling itself through an entire famine.
Key verses
“A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;”
Deuteronomy 8:8
“For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.”
1 Kings 17:14
