Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root word צָהַר (tsahar), which means "to glisten" or "to shine."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1637 (ἔλαιον, elaion): Refers to olive oil, used in similar contexts as יִצְהָר, for anointing and as a staple in daily life.
• G2590 (καρπός, karpos): While primarily meaning "fruit," it can metaphorically relate to the produce of the land, including oil.
• G4096 (πίων, pion): Meaning "fat" or "rich," often used metaphorically to describe abundance, which can include the richness of oil.

These Greek terms reflect the continuity of the significance of oil from the Hebrew Scriptures into the New Testament, maintaining its symbolic and practical importance.

Usage: The word יִצְהָר is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote olive oil, which held significant cultural, economic, and religious importance. It is often mentioned in contexts related to offerings, blessings, and prosperity.

Context: יִצְהָר (Yitzhar) is a term that appears frequently in the Hebrew Scriptures, symbolizing abundance and divine blessing. Olive oil was a critical commodity in ancient Israel, used for cooking, as fuel for lamps, and in religious rituals, particularly anointing. The anointing oil, often a mixture of olive oil and spices, was used to consecrate priests, kings, and sacred objects, signifying the presence and favor of God.

In the agricultural society of ancient Israel, olive oil was a sign of prosperity and was often included in lists of the land's produce, such as in Deuteronomy 7:13: "He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil—the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks, in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you."

The use of oil in anointing is significant in the Bible, symbolizing the setting apart of individuals or objects for a holy purpose. For example, in 1 Samuel 16:13, Samuel anoints David with oil, marking him as the future king of Israel: "So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David from that day forward."

The abundance of oil is also a metaphor for divine blessing and prosperity, as seen in passages like Joel 2:24: "The threshing floors will be full of grain, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil."
