In the biblical context, it is often used metaphorically to describe the preservation and purification qualities of salt, as well as the wisdom and grace that should characterize the speech and conduct of believers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, salt was a valuable commodity used for preserving food, enhancing flavor, and even as a form of currency. It symbolized purity, preservation, and covenantal loyalty. In the Greco-Roman world, salt was also associated with wisdom and wit in speech. The metaphorical use of salt in the Bible draws on these cultural understandings to convey spiritual truths.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 233</b> <i>halízō</i> – to apply salt (make salty). <a href="/greek/217.htm">See 217</a> (<i>halas</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/251.htm">hals</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to salt<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>made salty (1), salted (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 233: ἁλίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἁλίζω</span></span>: (<span class="greek2">ἅλς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἁλός</span>, salt); <span class="accented">to salt, season with salt, sprinkle with salt</span>; only the future passive is found in the N.
