Oil features in various contexts in the Jewish textual tradition. In the Bible, oil is used to anoint kings, High Priests, and vessels of the Tabernacle (mishkan), as fuel for the Menorah, and in various biblical stories. Oil also features as an element in food, cosmetics, medicine, and sacrifices, among other functions.
