Jacob 5; olive
-
Philological evidence indicates that the olive originated in the area of Syro-Palestine. It was considered first among trees and its oil was an equivalent of money. The article explores methods of planting, grafting, pruning, digging, nourishing, dunging, and harvesting of the olive tree, and the pressing and storage of the oil, all in relation to Zenos's parable of Jacob 5.
