The Old Testament is filled with quotations describing various uses and events relating to olive oil, the tree and its fruit. In addition, descriptions of advanced olive oil commerce and exports from the Holy Land to Egypt can be found in the archaeological remains of Egyptian Scriptures unearthed at the Pharonic sites..."All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and the wheat, the first-fruits of them which they shall offer to the LORD, them have I given to thee” Numbers 18:12 (approximately 6.45 fl. oz. or 250ml)
