Oil \Oil\ (oil), n. [OE. oile, OF. oile, F. huile, fr. L. oleum;       akin to Gr. [?]. Cf. {Olive}.]       Any one of a great variety of unctuous combustible       substances, not miscible with water; as, olive oil, whale       oil, rock oil, etc. They are of animal, vegetable, or mineral       origin and of varied composition, and they are variously used       for food, for solvents, for anointing, lubrication,       illumination, etc. By extension, any substance of an oily       consistency; as, oil of vitriol.          Note: The mineral oils are varieties of petroleum.

The vegetable oils are of two classes,                {essential oils} (see under {Essential}), and {natural                oils} which in general resemble the animal oils and                fats. Most of the natural oils and the animal oils and                fats consist of ethereal salts of glycerin, with a                large number of organic acids, principally stearic,                oleic, and palmitic, forming respectively stearin,                olein, and palmitin. Stearin and palmitin prevail in                the solid oils and fats, and olein in the liquid oils.                Mutton tallow, beef tallow, and lard are rich in                stearin, human fat and palm oil in palmitin, and sperm                and cod-liver oils in olein.

Ohel       a house; tent, the fourth son of Zerubbabel (1 Chr. 3:20).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Oil       Only olive oil seems to have been used among the Hebrews. It was       used for many purposes: for anointing the body or the hair (Ex.       29:7; 2 Sam. 14:2; Ps. 23:5; 92:10; 104:15; Luke 7:46); in some       of the offerings (Ex. 29:40; Lev. 7:12; Num. 6:15; 15:4), but       was excluded from the sin-offering (Lev. 5:11) and the       jealousy-offering (Num. 5:15); for burning in lamps (Ex. 25:6;       27:20; Matt. 25:3); for medicinal purposes (Isa. 1:6; Luke       10:34; James 5:14); and for anointing the dead (Matt. 26:12;       Luke 23:56).                It was one of the most valuable products of the country (Deut.       32:13; Ezek. 16:13), and formed an article of extensive commerce       with Tyre (27:17).                The use of it was a sign of gladness (Ps. 92:10; Isa. 61:3),       and its omission a token of sorrow (2 Sam. 14:2; Matt. 6:17). It       was very abundant in Galilee. (See {OLIVE}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Owl       (1.) Heb. bath-haya'anah, "daughter of greediness" or of       "shouting." In the list of unclean birds (Lev. 11:16; Deut.       14:15); also mentioned in Job 30:29; Isa. 13:21; 34:13; 43:20;       Jer. 50:39; Micah 1:8. In all these passages the Revised Version       translates "ostrich" (q.v.), which is the correct rendering.                (2.) Heb. yanshuph, rendered "great owl" in Lev. 11:17; Deut.       14:16, and "owl" in Isa. 34:11. This is supposed to be the       Egyptian eagle-owl (Bubo ascalaphus), which takes the place of       the eagle-owl (Bubo maximus) found in Southern Europe. It is       found frequenting the ruins of Egypt and also of the Holy Land.       "Its cry is a loud, prolonged, and very powerful hoot. I know       nothing which more vividly brought to my mind the sense of       desolation and loneliness than the re-echoing hoot of two or       three of these great owls as I stood at midnight among the       ruined temples of Baalbek" (Tristram).                The LXX. and Vulgate render this word by "ibis", i.e., the       Egyptian heron.                (3.) Heb. kos, rendered "little owl" in Lev. 11:17; Deut.       14:16, and "owl" in Ps. 102:6. The Arabs call this bird "the       mother of ruins." It is by far the most common of all the owls       of Palestine. It is the Athene persica, the bird of Minerva, the       symbol of ancient Athens.                (4.) Heb. kippoz, the "great owl" (Isa. 34:15); Revised       Version, "arrow-snake;" LXX. and Vulgate, "hedgehog," reading in       the text, kippod, instead of kippoz. There is no reason to doubt       the correctness of the rendering of the Authorized Version.       Tristram says: "The word [i.e., kippoz] is very possibly an       imitation of the cry of the scops owl (Scops giu), which is very       common among ruins, caves, and old walls of towns...It is a       migrant, returning to Palestine in spring."                (5.) Heb. lilith, "screech owl" (Isa. 34:14, marg. and R.V.,       "night monster"). The Hebrew word is from a root signifying       "night." Some species of the owl is obviously intended by this       word. It may be the hooting or tawny owl (Syrnium aluco), which       is common in Egypt and in many parts of Palestine. This verse in       Isaiah is "descriptive of utter and perpetual desolation, of a       land that should be full of ruins, and inhabited by the animals       that usually make such ruins their abode."
