Various commentaries explore the meaning and significance of this commandment, interpreting "salt of your covenant" in diverse ways. Some view salt as a symbol of the enduring nature of the covenant between God and Israel, while others connect it to the idea of purification and the engagement of the physical world in spiritual service. Later halakhic texts discuss the contemporary application of this principle, relating it to the practice of placing salt on the table during meals, drawing a parallel between the table and the Temple altar.
