This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Num_18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
Ver. 19. It is a covenant of salt.] So 2Ch_13:5; that is, Inviolable, incorruptible; non computrescens vetustate, saith Flaccius. Pierius also tells us, that amity and friendship was symbolised by salt - Corpora enim solidiora facit, et diutissime conservat - for its consolidating and conserving property.
