Commentary

Commentary on Numbers 18:19

Theological / Devotional

A covenant of salt. An indissoluble covenant, one that never decays, a bond of sacred friendship. Salt, itself a preservative, is an appropriate symbol of that which is incorruptible. It is an emblem of a binding alliance, as when two men would eat bread and salt together. Salt was always added to the sacrifices made to the Lord (Lev. 2:13; Mark 9:49).
