    The bible has a bunch of different references to oil, as it was used a lamp fuel(and some rituals).

    This one refers to Revelation 6:6

    From KJ or this one from the NIV

    Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

    Referring to how the price of food would go up, but oil and alcohol would not.
