<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Salt in the Bible''' refers to the numerous mentions and symbolic uses of [[salt]] in the [[Bible]]. Salt is used metaphorically to signify permanence, loyalty, durability, fidelity, usefulness, value, and purification.<br />
<br />
== Old Testament ==<br />
<br />
In the [[Old Testament]], salt is often a symbol of a lasting covenant, as in the case of God's covenant with the Israelites: "It is a covenant of salt forever, before the Lord with you and your descendants with you" ([[Book of Numbers|Numbers 18:19]]). <br />
<br />
Salt was also used in ancient Hebrew temple offerings ([[Leviticus 2:13]]), and in the laying of a city's foundations ([[Ezra 4:14]]).<br />
<br />
== New Testament ==<br />
<br />
In the [[New Testament]], salt is used as a metaphor in [[Jesus]]' [[Sermon on the Mount]]: "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot" ([[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew 5:13]]).<br />
<br />
== Symbolism ==<br />
<br />
The [[symbolism]] of salt in the Bible is rich and varied. It is often associated with purity, preservation, and covenant loyalty. In the New Testament, the metaphor of the followers of Jesus as the "salt of the earth" implies a call to influence the world in a positive way.<br />
