על כל קרבנך תקריב מלח

English: With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

Type of Learning

Extension beyond menachot — the final clause broadens the salt requirement to other korbanos as well.

What Is Learned

Salt is required not only for meal-offerings but for all offerings that go on the altar. The covenant of salt marks permanence and the preserving quality of the relationship with Hashem.
