ܙܰܝܬ݁ܳܐ

The fruit of the olive-tree. This tree yielded oil which was highly valued. The best oil was from olives that were plucked before being fully ripe, and then beaten or squeezed (Deuteronomy 24:20; Isaiah 17:6; 24:13 ). It was called "beaten," or "fresh oil" (Exodus 27:20 ). There were also oil-presses, in which the oil was trodden out by the feet (Micah 6:15 ). (James 3:12 ) calls the fruit "olive berries." The phrase "vineyards and olives" (Judges 15:5 , A.V.) should be simply "olive-yard," or "olive-garden," as in the Revised Version. (See OIL .)
