This refers to the primitive method of treading the olives in order to express the oil. It is not now practiced, and could only be done when the olives were very soft. There is a similar allusion in Micah 6: 15. See also the note on Job 29:66When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; (Job 29:6) (#418).
