me.shach denotes oil listed among provisions and measured supplies in Ezra.

The term occurs as a singular absolute noun in lists of provisions: among materials supplied for offerings in Ezra 6:9 and among goods assigned stated quantities in Ezra 7:22.

Senses in use

  1. 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.
