6. What are Essential Oils?
Genesis 1:11-12
There are over 126 plant families in the Holy Bible.
Archaeologists have found plants in dig sites.
The dead sea caves were covered in garlic, leeks
Numbers 11:5, onions, pomegranates
Song of Solomon 4:13, and some dates
Exodus 15:27. Garlic leaves has also been discovered in Egyptian
tombs.

7. Jerimiah 10:12
• 10:12 The power of God’s word
created the essential oils for man.
God created medication that all man
needed and then He lead us to them
as he sees fit. Further discussion of
this topic is discussed in the next
class.
Question 2
• Essential oils are found in the Bible
as plants and spices. There are
around 644 Bible references. We will
look at some in detail today.
• Let’s start at Exodus 30:34-35,
What are essential oils?

8.  2. Exodus 30:22-25
22 Then the LORD said to Moses,
23 “Take the following fine spices: 500
shekels[a] of liquid myrrh, half as much (that
is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250
shekels[b] of fragrant calamus,
24 500 shekels of cassia—all according to the
sanctuary shekel—and a hin[c] of olive oil.
25 Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a
fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer. It will
be the sacred anointing oil.
 v. 23
 12 ½
pounds and
 6 ¼ pounds
 v. 24
 That’s
about 1
gallon
• We see here, God himself, owns his
own blend!
• Is that not incredible!

9.  God himself decided to use these oils for
communication with his people. He said this is my
fragrance.
 It’s neat that when the people come to the temple
they were automatically recognizing him. God forbid
his mixture to be used for personal use.
 Which will be discussed in a later class.
In the old testament we will look at 2
Proverbs 21:20

10. Hezekiah had just
recovered from sickness
Babylonians were
fighting against
Assyrians.
Hezekiah wanted the
travelers to describe him
to their masters as being a
remarkable king, with
• Oils were part of
everyday life for the
people.
• They used them in
hospitality, in medicine,
and in worship.
• Oils were a part of
everyday life.
• 2 Kings 20:13 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
• 13 and Hezekiah hearkeneth unto them, and sheweth
them all the house of his treasury, the silver, and the
gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the
house of his vessels, and all that hath been found in his
treasuries; there hath not been a thing that Hezekiah
hath not shewed them, in his house, and in all his
dominion.

11. Question
# 4Jesus in this passage is actually
being honored. Just like when the 3
wise men brought him gifts.
This shows Jesus’s power and
authority.
Scholars say that it was Myrrh
being used and it would have been
one years wages.
Oils were also used as an act of
hospitality when people came to
visit from a long travel. – but only
with less expensive oils
Of course, this can be discussed at a
future scheduled class.
Mark 14:3-9 Young's Literal Translation
 3 And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his
reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of
ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster
box, did pour on his head;
 4 and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying,
`For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?
 5 for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and
given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at her.
 6 And Jesus said, `Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good
work she wrought on me;
 7 for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye
are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;
 8 what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the
embalming.
 9 Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the
whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of -- for a
memorial of her

12. Our current medical
field is very
atheistic.
In school doctors are
taught about God’s
word.
 Since, modern
medicine is manmade
they several have
dangerous side effects
and dependency
issues.
 No one has ever died
using oils topically.
Ask a partner to:
Name 3 benefits you
want to see from using
God’s medicine?
