1 In Proverbs 21:20 we read: There is treasure tobe desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise. Question: Why would the possession of oil in one shouse be a sign of wisdom? At least 33 differentessential oils or aromatic oil-producing plants arementioned in the Bible (12 of them are discussed inthis Appendix plus cinnamon and calamus.) The word oil is mentioned 191 times in theBible. While olive oil is specifically mentioned only 7times There are 147 instances where it can be inferred.

2 (See Appendix D) Olive oil was not only a food, but wasburned in lamps for light and used as a base forblending other oils for religious or medicinal purposes. Incense is mentioned 68 times in the Bible. In54 of these the oils of frankincense, myrrh, galbanum,and onycha are indicated. In other instances, theHebrew word translated into English as incense was lebonah, which is actually frankincense. In only eightof the instances where incense is mentioned are theoils in the formula not identifiable. In Psalm 45:7-8, Proverbs 27:9, Isaiah 61:3 and Hebrews 1:9 we read of The Oil of Joy or Gladness and how oils rejoice the heart.

3 Essential oils are also referred to in the Bible as fragrances, odors, ointments, aromas, perfumes or sweet savors. Appendix F Principal oils of Ancient Scripture Reprinted with permission to be given as handouts for Bible oils Programs From the Book: Healing oils of the Bible Copyright 2003 by David Stewart There are over 600 references to essential oilsand/or the aromatic plants from which they wereextracted in the Bible.

7 UNIQUE CHEMISTRY OF BIBLICAL oils : The dominant classes of compounds in the oils of theBible are: Sesquiterpenes, Monoterpenes, and Phenols(including phenylpropanoids) along with Ketones,Aldehydes, and Esters. There are more than 10,000 typesof sesquiterpenes, more than 2,000 varieties ofmonoterpenes, and hundreds of phenols along withthousands of kinds of ketones, aldehydes, and , ketones, and aldehydes are antiseptic, cleansereceptor sites, and detoxify our bodies. Sesquiterpenesare oxygenating, mood elevating, and deprogrammiswritten or garbled codes in the DNA.

8 Monoterpenesare hostile to microbes and reprogram cells with correctinformation. Esters are calming, stress-reducing, andemotionally releasing. Sesquiterpenes are mainly in: Cedarwood-98%,Sandalwood-95%, Myrrh-65%, Spikenard-46%, andCypress-12%. Monoterpenes are in Frankincense-82%,Cypress-77%, Galbanum-75%, Rose of Sharon-54%,Myrtle-37%, Spikenard-36%, and Hyssop-30%. Phenolsare in Calamus-30%, Cinnamon-25%, and Cassia-8%.These last three oils are all ingredients of the HolyAnointing Oil of Exodus 30:23-24 Sesquiterpenes and Monoterpenes can be spirituallyelevating by stimulating the pineal gland and theiroxygenating capabilties can create an environment thatmakes it difficult for cancer cells to survive.

9 They are alsostrong supporters of the immune system and boost thebody s natural defenses. Phenols, in addition to theirantimicrobial and cleansing abilities, also promotehormonal balance and healthy bodily function. Modernresearch has found Cinnamon oil to be as effectiveagainst certain bacteria as Penicillin and Ampicillin. Thus, the oils of the Bible serve us on all levels: Spiritual,Emotional, Mental, and Physical.
