This method produces a purer, higher-quality oil, often referred to as "beaten oil." It is specifically used in contexts related to the preparation of oil for sacred purposes, such as lighting the menorah in the Tabernacle or Temple.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, olive oil was a staple commodity, used for cooking, lighting, anointing, and religious rituals. The process of obtaining "kathith" oil involved gently crushing the olives to extract the first, most refined oil, which was highly valued for its purity and clarity. This oil was considered the best and was reserved for sacred uses, reflecting the importance of offering the finest to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3807.htm">kathath</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>beaten<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>beaten (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כָּתִית</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>beaten</b></font>;
