Oracle files are not like dBase. It is too complex to explain here, but there is no one-to-one matchup between oracle tables and oracle files.

There are a lot of tools that move data dbf->Oracle, but I do not know of any to go the other way. MS Access can treat dbf files as tables, and it can link to and read Oracle tables. If you don't know Oracle PL/SQL, try using Access as a go between.
