easton:

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 kjv@Exodus:29:7; kjv@2Samuel:14:2; kjv@Psalms:23:5 kjv@Psalms:92:10 kjv@Psalms:104:15 ; kjv@Luke:7:46); in some of the offerings kjv@Exodus:29:40; kjv@Leviticus:7:12; kjv@Numbers:6:15 kjv@Numbers:15:4), but was excluded from the sin-offering kjv@Leviticus:5:11) and the jealousy-offering kjv@Numbers:5:15); for burning in lamps kjv@Exodus:25:6 kjv@Exodus:27:20; kjv@Matthew:25:3); for medicinal purposes kjv@Isaiah:1:6; kjv@Luke:10:34; kjv@James:5:14); and for anointing the dead kjv@Matthew:26:12; kjv@Luke:23:56). It was one of the most valuable products of the country kjv@Deuteronomy:32:13; kjv@Ezekiel:16:13), and formed an article of extensive commerce with Tyre (27:17). The use of it was a sign of gladness kjv@Psalms:92:10; kjv@Isaiah:61:3), and its omission a token of sorrow ( kjv@2Samuel:14:2; kjv@Matthew:6:17). It was very abundant in Galilee. (
