In the Bible, salt is often symbolic of covenant, purity, and judgment. It is used both literally and metaphorically to convey these themes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, salt was a valuable commodity due to its preservative and flavoring properties. It was essential for food preservation, especially in a time without refrigeration. Salt also held religious significance, being used in offerings and covenants. The "covenant of salt" mentioned in the Bible signifies an enduring and unbreakable agreement, as salt was a symbol of permanence and loyalty.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/4416.htm">melach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to eat salt<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>service (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>have maintenance <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/4414.htm">malach</a>; to eat salt, i.e. (generally) subsist -- + have maintenance. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/4414.htm">malach</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מְלַ֔חְנָא מלחנא mə·laḥ·nā meLachna məlaḥnā<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/4-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 4:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מְלַ֤ח הֵֽיכְלָא֙ <b> מְלַ֔חְנָא </b> וְעַרְוַ֣ת מַלְכָּ֔א</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/4.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> because <span class="itali">we are in the service</span> of the palace,<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> we have <span class="itali">maintenance</span> from [the king's] palace,<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/4-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> maintenance of the palace <span class="itali">the service</span> dishonor the king's<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4415.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4415.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4415<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/melachna_4415.htm">mə·laḥ·nā &#8212; 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-728x90-ATF --> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-300x250-ATF --> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-728x90-BTF --> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-300x250-BTF --> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-728x90-BTF2 --> <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4414b.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4414b"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4414b" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4416.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4416"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4416" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
