COVENANT OF SALT: Salt, a precious commodity. To eat
another's salt is a token of fidelity and friendship (Str Scr 32).
Num 18:20
YOU WILL HAVE NO INHERITANCE IN THEIR LAND, NOR WILL YOU
HAVE ANY SHARE AMONG THEM; I AM YOUR SHARE AND YOUR INHERITANCE AMONG THE
ISRAELITES: "When the Lord divided Canaan among the tribes of Israel, Levi
received no share of the land. God said to him simply, 'I am thy part and thine
inheritance,' and by those words made him richer than all his brethren, richer
than all the kings and rajas who have ever lived in the world. And there is a
spiritual principle here, a principle still valid for every priest of the Most
High God. The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One. Many
ordinary treasures may be denied him, or if he is allowed to have them, the
enjoyment of them will be so tempered that they will never be necessary to his
happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a
sense of loss, for having the Source of all things he has in One all
satisfaction, all pleasure, all delight. Whatever he may lose he has actually
lost nothing, for he now has it all in One, and he has it purely, legitimately
and forever" (AWT).
