Oil, especially a liquid fat or grease used for anointing, lighting lamps, or as food. Refers generally to a processed or extracted oil, most often olive oil, though can denote other types of oils or greases depending on context. In Aramaic biblical passages, it functions much as Hebrew שֶׁמֶן (shemen), designating oil as a valuable and utilitarian commodity.

and oil
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + common noun, masculine singular, absolute state (Aramaic form). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root משח (to smear, anoint) and denotes oil as a substance used for smearing or anointing. The prefixed conjunction ו is preserved as "and," and the masculine singular absolute form is reflected by the simple singular "oil." |
