ויאמר קחו לי צלחית חדשה ושימו שם מלח ויקחו אליו
וַיֹּ֗אמֶר קְחוּ־לִי֙ צְלֹחִ֣ית חֲדָשָׁ֔ה וְשִׂ֥ימוּ שָׁ֖ם מֶ֑לַח וַיִּקְח֖וּ אֵלָֽיו ׃
וַיֹּאמֶר קְחוּ־לִי צְלֹחִית חֲדָשָׁה וְשִׂימוּ שָׁם מֶלַח וַיִּקְחוּ אֵלָֽיו ׃
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
salt therein: Judges 9:45, Ezekiel 47:11, Zephaniah 2:9
Reciprocal: 2 Kings 8:4 - all the great 2 Kings 20:7 - Take a lump Colossians 4:6 - seasoned
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said, bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein,.... One that had never been used, that it might not be thought that the virtue was owing to anything that had been, or was, put into it:
and they brought it to him; the pot with the salt in it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The ânew cruseâ and the âsaltâ are evidently chosen from a regard to symbolizm. The foul stream represents sin, and to cleanse it emblems of purity must he taken. Hence, the clean ânewâ dish previously unused, and thus untainted; and the salt, a common Scriptural symbol of incorruption (see Leviticus 2:13; Ezekiel 43:24; Matthew 5:13, etc.).
