Olive trees feature heavily in the Bible, and there are tens of thousands of them in Israel, however, when you need to find one Olive tree all on it's own...not so easy, not so easy at all.

"Olive Tree.
Olive trees have short trunks and lots of branches and leaves.
Olive trees grow very slowly.
Olive trees can grow up to 9 metres tall. However they normally grow about 4 metres tall.
In Israel olive trees are very common.
People can plant olive trees in poor quality soil where no other trees can grow, this is often on a mountain side.
People grow olive trees with very little care and they will still produce lots of fruit.
People pick olives which grow on the tree to eat or turn them into oil.
People pick olives from the tree by shaking or beating the branches.
People can gather enough fruit to make ninety litres of olive oil from one olive tree.
In the bible Jesus often went to pray in an area outside of Jerusalem called “The Mount of Olives” where there were many olive trees."

What is the Video Bible Dictionary?
How do you explain what a desert wilderness is to someone who’s only ever lived in a jungle? Or how can a person understand what a winnowing fork is when they’ve never seen one?
The Video Bible Dictionary is an ambitious project to film items, objects and places mentioned in the Bible which will be collated into a single resource (a dictionary of sorts) to help people understand and read the Bible; basically what the things and places in the Bible really look like.

Who’s it for?
The primary audience is for Oral Preference Learners, however everyone and anyone will benefit from a more literal understanding of actual places and items from the Bible.

What’s an Oral Preference Learner?
A person who prefers to listen, learn and pass on information orally rather than through reading (most of us, right?). This ‘person’ finds context critical in understanding the world around them, hence every video in the Video Bible Dictionary will show the item, object and place in context of a person.
By way of an example; do you remember those old school textbooks which showed a silhouette of a dinosaur with a silhouette of a person standing next to them? It gave you an understanding of how big the dinosaur was compared to a person, right? This is the same thing.

Why do this?
The Video Bible Dictionary is part of a larger project to provide a resource to support the local church around the world as they teach and share Jesus with those who have yet to hear about Him.

Who do you work for?
This project is being produced by SRV in partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators and ETEN (short for ‘Every Tribe Every Nation’).

Who am I?
My name is Mark Murfitt, I live in the UK and it’s my privilege to produce and direct these videos as well as to oversee the script writing and media production for this project.

Is something like this really necessary?
Absolutely.
For many people, in both developed and developing countries, much of what we’re videoing isn’t known, understood or believed to actually be real.

Is this work copyright protected?
