WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on May 14, 1961.]

Let him dip his foot in oil (Deut. 33:24)

The territory of Asher, which lay in the west portion of what was later called Galilee, was and is especially productive of olives and of the oil produced from them. Some commentators suggest that the prediction that Asher would "dip his foot in oil" implies that this province would produce so much oil that it would overflow from the vats and run along the ground.

Japhet, an alternative spelling of Japheth (Gen. 6:10)
