All five occurrences designate the oil item or amount within the same ritual instructions. In Leviticus 14:10 the APB renders the provisions as including “one log of oil”; in Leviticus 14:12 and Leviticus 14:24 it is presented and waved with the offering, while in Leviticus 14:15 oil is poured from it onto the priest’s hand.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term consistently as “log” in the phrases “log of oil” or “one log of oil” across the cited verses. This wording confirms the verse-level presentation rather than supplying a separate definition.
