Essential Oils in the Bible.

On the Internet, there are other listings of essential oils in the bible, and statements like:
1. Referenced in 36 of the 39 books of the Old Testament and 10 of the 27 books of the New Testament.
2. Mentioned more than 500 times.
So, where are these references? Here I hope to find and number them. Also, the person making these claims must be using the King James version, because the Catholic bible has more than 39 books in the Old Testament.

I have listed all the refernces I found, and you can find them here.

There are no where near 500.
