salt (Lev: 2:13, Num 18:19)
A covenant made with Israel concerning
the sacrifices they were to offer forever. See usage of salt in Mark
9:49-50; Col. 4:6. In 'Palestine' and surrounding countries salt was used
in making covenants, and if persons ate food with salt in it together,
they became friends, though they may have been enemies before. The Arab
expression is "There is salt between us," or "He has eaten of my salt,"
which means partaking of the hospitality which cements friendship.
Covenants were generally confirmed at sacrificial meals and salt was
always present. The covenant of salt pictured the everlasting friendship
between God and His people (Num.l8:19)

benefits revealed in 27 books of the Bible - all of Matthew through
Revelation.
Hebrews 8:6 But now He has obtained a
more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better
covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. 7 For if that first
covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for
a second.
Matthew 26:28 This is my blood of the
covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
2 Cor 3:6 Yeshua has made us competent as
ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the
letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
