Oil as a supplied provision · dominant
Both occurrences place the singular absolute noun in itemized provision lists. In Ezra 6:9 the APB renders a list of materials to be given day by day for burnt offerings, including “oil”; in Ezra 7:22 it renders oil among goods supplied up to stated amounts.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB includes “oil” in both provision lists, once with materials for burnt offerings and once with stated quantities. These lists only confirm the term’s contribution at that level.
