This sentence is marked as needing a better source:
There is wording about sprinkling grain offerings with salt, in Leviticus 2:11-13 (and a covenant is mentioned), but the text does not give any reason why salt was used in this context. The phrase "covenant of salt" also occurs elsewhere, e.g., in 2 Chr 13 (in reference to an entirely different covenant), but again there is no detailed explanation of what the salt signifies. In the absense of any reliable source for the interpretation, I propose that we de-editorialize the content as follows:
It's _interesting_ to speculate about why the salt was used and what it meant, but this is an encyclopedia and as such not the correct venue for such speculation. The mere fact that salt was used, does seem germaine to the article, as it is an indicator of salt's cultural importance. -- Jonadab, 2021 Nov 3

Right above where the history section begins, it says 2000mg or the equivalent to 5 grams. 2000mg is 2 grams :) 174.242.221.216 ( talk) 05:57, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Second to last sentence in second to last paragraph of first section: "such as sea salt and table salt, which latter usually contains" -> "such as sea salt and table salt, the latter of which usually contains" (bolding mine) ReidLeek ( talk) 16:57, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
