Yes, olive oil is mentioned in the Bible many times. 

It was used for various purposes, such as lighting lamps, anointing kings and priests, cooking food, and making offerings to God. Olive oil was also a symbol of the Holy Spirit, joy, and healing. 

Some of the verses that mention olive oil are:

- Exodus 27:20 - __“You shall charge the sons of Israel, that they bring you clear oil of beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually.”__  This verse shows that olive oil was used to keep the lamps burning in the tabernacle, which was the place where God dwelled among His people. The lamps symbolized God’s presence and guidance.
- Leviticus 24:2 - __“Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually.”__ This verse repeats the same command as Exodus 27:20, emphasizing the importance of keeping the lamps lit with olive oil.
- 1 Samuel 16:1 - __“The Lord said to Samuel, ‘How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have selected a king for Myself among his sons.’”__ This verse tells the story of how Samuel anointed David as the next king of Israel with olive oil. The oil signified that David was chosen by God and endowed with His Spirit.
- Psalm 23:5 - __“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.”__ This verse is part of a psalm that expresses trust and gratitude to God as a shepherd who provides and protects His sheep. The oil represents God’s blessing and favor on the psalmist.
- Matthew 25:3-4 - __“For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps.”__ This verse is part of a parable that Jesus told about ten virgins who were waiting for the bridegroom to come. The oil in their lamps symbolized their readiness and preparedness for his arrival. The foolish ones ran out of oil and missed the opportunity to join the wedding feast, while the prudent ones had enough oil and were welcomed by the bridegroom.
