Deborah, " The salt of the covenant of your God: the partaking in common of salt by those seated together at table was an ancient symbol of friendship and alliance. Cf Mark 9:49 and Col 4:6; and see note on Numbers 18:19. " footnote from NAB on Lev 2:13 http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/leviticus/leviticus2.htm "An inviolable covenant: literally, "a convenant of salt." Cf 2 Chron 13:5. The reference may perhaps be to the preservative power of salt (cf Matthew 5:13); but more likely the phrase refers to the custom of partaking of the same salt in common to render a contract unbreakable. See note on Lev 2:13." footnote from the NAB on Numbers 18:19 http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/numbers/numbers18.htm NASB Num 18:19 "All the offerings of the holy gifts, which the sons of Israel offer to the LORD, I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a perpetual allotment. It is an everlasting covenant of salt before the LORD to you and your descendants with you." Emmaus |
