The reason olive oil was used for anointing and for lamps was...

1043. That the "cloud" signifies the obscure light in which is the spiritual man as compared with the celestial man, is evident from what has just been said about the "bow;" for the bow, or the color of the bow, has no existence except in the cloud. As before said, it is the darkness of the cloud, through which the sun's rays shine, that is turned into colors; and thus the colo...

Moreover, as in ancient times they gave names to actual things...

Hence comes the signification of "nations" and of "...
