Bible Question: Can someone explain The salt of the covenant? And where in scripture this was part of the covenant? |
Bible Answer: DarcyA Here are two scriptures that mention salt and covenant within reasonable closeness. NKJV Leviticus 2:13 And every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt; you shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt. Numbers 18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you and your sons and daughters with you as an ordinance forever; it is a covenant of salt forever before the Lord with you and your descendants with you." I once sat under a teaching on the salt covenant that was without scriptural basis and as I was listening I believe the Holy Spirit revealed to me that the person doing this teaching was in effect minimizing the all important Blood Covenant. Whether the person was doing it because that was their intent or they were just trying to teach the ever popular "something new" in don't know. I do know I left when they invited everyone forward to lay hands on them. As I exited the church I apologized to my friend and his wife for the hasty exit. My friend said he was wondering why I stuck around as long as I did. He too was given discernment that this teaching was in error. Other than these two verses we have no Biblical teaching on any kind of salt covenant and I think it is something that should be taken with a grain of salt pardon the pun. EdB |
