Every grain offering of yours, moreover, you shall season with salt, so that the salt of the covenant of your God shall not be lacking from you grain offering; with all you offerings you shall offer salt.Okay, I'm just going to say to this, "huh?" What is this talking about? I will admit I'm not a world-class Bible scholar, but what is the significance of salt in the covenant? I don't recall any mention of salt before. I realize the value and importance of salt in this climate, but why put salt in your grains?
So why did God include salt here? My only guess is that it's something similar to how the New Testament (specific reference isn't coming to me) uses the expression of salt as a way of showing how Christians are unique from the rest of the world. That salt sets us apart from everyone else, and makes us noticeable. I know I'm reaching here, but might that be the reference to the salt of the covenant?
