oil; a sacred commodity supplied for temple service
This Aramaic loanword for oil appears only in Ezra, in the context of provisions for temple worship during the post-exilic restoration. Both occurrences list oil among the essential supplies (wheat, salt, wine, oil) to be provided for the priests serving in the rebuilt temple. The term reflects the administrative vocabulary of the Persian period, when the restored community depended on royal decrees for the material support of their worship.

1. sense 1 — Found in Ezra 6:9 and 7:22, both in lists of temple provisions authorized by Persian decree. The multilingual glosses consistently translate it as 'oil' (English 'oil', Spanish 'aceite', French/German preserving the Hebrew form), identifying it as the standard substance used for anointing, lighting, and meal offerings in the second temple period. 2×
