The Symbolism of Salt
Commentators explain that the casting of salt on the offerings was a vital symbol of purification and the enduring nature of God's covenant. The verb used suggests a generous pouring, not just a light seasoning, emphasizing the importance of this act. Some scholars connect this to the New Testament call for believers' lives and teachings to have a 'salty' or preserving quality.
