Berean Strong's Lexicon shemen: Oil Original Word: שֶׁמֶן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to shine or be oily. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - 1637 (elaion): Olive oil, used in similar contexts as shemen, for anointing and as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. - 5548 (chriō): To anoint, often used in the New Testament to describe the anointing of Jesus and believers with the Holy Spirit. Usage: The Hebrew word "shemen" primarily refers to oil, particularly olive oil, which was a staple in ancient Israelite culture. It is used in various contexts, including anointing, cooking, lighting lamps, and as a symbol of abundance and blessing. In the religious context, oil was used for anointing priests, kings, and sacred objects, signifying consecration and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, olive oil was a valuable commodity, essential for daily life and religious practices. It was used in offerings and as a base for anointing oils and perfumes. Olive oil production was a significant agricultural activity, and its abundance was often seen as a sign of God's blessing. The process of extracting oil from olives involved crushing and pressing, which is metaphorically significant in biblical texts.
