Covenant Scripture/Pshat Remez Drash Friendship Salt Genesis 18:1- Gen 18:8 Abraham shares bread with men Lev 2:13 with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. The Salt Covenant and the name come from an Ancient practice. Each Hebrew person carried a small pouch of salt. When two or more men would like to enter into this type of relationship with each other, the parties to the convent would mix their salt in a common bowl, break bread, dip it into the salt, and eat it. When they were finished they would redistribute the salt into their pouches. You see the only way to break the covenant would be to separate each grain of salt from the others and return it to the original owner. Since this was impossible, the established bond had to remain forever! Exo 30:35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered ל ח h4414 malachמ together, pure and holy: H4417 melach מלח Mem:water, chaos Lamed:staff, lead, control Chet: fence, separation Num 18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto YHWH, have I given thee. The people were to trust Elohiym by giving the salt that was put into their offering. Their Elohiym would provide for them and they were to give back out of love and obedience. The priests and Levites were to trust Elohiym by serving Him without a land inheritance like their brothers. Their Elohiym would provide for their livelihood while they were away from their cities which were interspersed throughout Israel. Psalm 141:2, May my prayer be set before You like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice, both of which had salt Is it possible that salt aids our
Leviticus 2:13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy Elohiym to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

All four pictographs together denote a Gift: What is brought to another.
Minchah Often a present brought to the (Joel 1:9, 13) house of YHWH, possibly tithes and offerings. With a minchah offering, we take the resources we have access to, and create a work as a korban, so those are likely variable as those grain cakes were as the individual mixed them with ingredients and baked them. Offerings we make or prepare for The Father, ie.our prayers, our talents we bring in stewardship (our ministries, praise & worship, administration, cleaning) Minchah offerings should be seasoned with salt Psa 20:3 Remember all thy offerings, H4503 and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. Psa 72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: H4503 the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Psa 141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. H4503
Covenant Scripture/Pshat Remez Drash Sandal Inheritance h5275 נ ע ל na`al Nun: seed, fish, life Ayin: eye, see, experience Lamed: staff, control, lead Exo 3:5 put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Deu 19:14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark which thou shalt inherit in the land that YHWH thy Elohiym giveth thee to possess it. Deu 25:9 Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe H5275 from off his foot.so shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house. Ruth 4:8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. The name originates from the custom to mark your property with worn-out sandals. These sandals were partially covered by rocks to keep them in place against the natural elements (wind and rain) In ancient Hebrew households, during the day you could not tell the sons and daughters apart from the hired help. But at dinnertime (marriage supper of the Lamb?!) the difference became obvious; the sons and daughters were the ones sitting with the parents at the family table. Joshua 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, John 13:4-14. Yahushua offered the inheritance of His heavenly kingdom to His disciples. By removing their sandals and washing their feet He was giving them a new inheritance His own!
Covenant Scripture/Pshat Remez Drash Betrothal/Marriage Covenant Jeremiah 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith YHWH; for I am married unto you Marriage The ultimate form of a covenant is the marriage covenant (Betrothal). This is the closest relationship we will ever experience as this is the point when the two parties of the covenant become one. Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of Elohiym.

Joshua 6:4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. What is the ram s horn? Is it a shofar? Is this a battle trumpet? http://arkfiles.net
What s with all the sevens? Are they reminiscent of any other scriptures?

Joshua 6:7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of YHWH. What is the significance of the order of this progression?
Joshua 6:8-9 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before YHWH, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of YHWH followed them.

Joshua 6:24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of YHWH. What contaminants still remain in our lives? What accursed are we keeping?
Looking back Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. 1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of Elohiym overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith. Was it faith alone? Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
