yits.har denotes oil as an agricultural provision, stored commodity, and tithed produce in the Bible.

The term chiefly denotes oil among the produce of the land, regularly listed with grain and new wine in contexts of harvest, provision, loss, storage, and tithe. A rare phrase in Zechariah uses it in the designation “sons of the oil.”

1. Oil as agricultural produce and provision · dominant

   The noun occurs among grain and new wine as produce to be gathered in Deuteronomy 11:14 and as abundance brought in with the first produce in 2 Chronicles 31:5. In Joel 1:10 the APB renders a scene in which grain is ruined, new wine dries up, and oil fails; Joel 2:24 reverses that condition with full threshing floors and overflowing vats. It also occurs in lists of tithed or stored goods, as the APB renders in Deuteronomy 14:23 and Nehemiah 13:12.
