In the Bible olive oil is mentioned several times as the oil used for lighting lamps (Leviticus 24:2; Exodus 27:20). Olive oil was also used for anointing oil (Exodus 30:23–25) and as part of the grain offerings (Leviticus 2:1–10). Kings were anointed with olive oil as a sign that they were chosen by God to rule (1 Samuel 16:1).
As an important ingredient in the recipe for anointing oil, olive oil was used to anoint priests (Exodus 29:7), the Holy Temple, and all its furnishings (Exodus 40:9). Olive oil was also used in cooking. Olive trees grew in Israel in abundance especially in Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives (Deuteronomy 8:7–8), and the people in many regions used the oil from pressed olives in everyday life.
Olive Oil was an important part of Jewish culture because of its many uses. Because of its centrality to much of Jewish life, olive oil was sometimes used as a symbol of richness, joy, and good health (Jeremiah 31:12
