Strong's Lexicon Yitschar: Oil Original Word: יִצְחַר Word Origin: Derived from the root word צָהַר (tsahar), meaning "to glisten" or "to shine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for oil is ἔλαιον (elaion), Strong's Greek #1637. Usage: Yitschar refers specifically to fresh oil, often olive oil, which was a staple in ancient Israelite culture. It was used for cooking, lighting lamps, anointing, and as a trade commodity. The term emphasizes the freshness and purity of the oil, distinguishing it from other types of oil or fats. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, olive oil was a vital part of daily life and religious practice. It was used in offerings and anointing rituals, symbolizing consecration and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Olive oil production was a significant agricultural activity, and it played a crucial role in the economy. The process of extracting oil from olives involved crushing and pressing, which was labor-intensive but essential for producing high-quality oil.
