You are to present them before the LORD
This phrase emphasizes the act of bringing offerings into the presence of God. In Hebrew, the word for "present" is "qarab," which means to draw near or approach. This act signifies the worshiper's intention to come close to God, acknowledging His holiness and sovereignty. Historically, presenting offerings was a central part of Israelite worship, symbolizing dedication and submission to God's will. The phrase underscores the importance of intentionality in worship, reminding believers that approaching God requires reverence and a heart prepared to honor Him.

the priests are to sprinkle salt on them
The use of salt in offerings is significant. In Hebrew, "salt" is "melach," and it was a symbol of purity, preservation, and covenant. Salt was used in ancient Near Eastern cultures as a preservative, which aligns with its symbolic meaning of enduring covenants. In Leviticus 2:13, salt is described as the "salt of the covenant," indicating its role in maintaining the perpetual nature of God's promises. For believers, this act of sprinkling salt serves as a reminder of the enduring and purifying nature of God's covenant with His people, calling them to live lives that reflect His holiness.

and offer them as a burnt offering to the LORD
The term "burnt offering" in Hebrew is "olah," which means "that which goes up" or "ascent." This offering was entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing complete surrender and dedication to God. The burnt offering was a voluntary act of worship, expressing atonement, devotion, and commitment. Historically, it was one of the most common offerings in the Israelite sacrificial system, representing the worshiper's desire to be in right standing with God. For contemporary believers, this phrase encourages a life of total dedication and surrender to God, where one's actions and heart are wholly given over to His service and glory.

to the LORD
The phrase "to the LORD" is central to understanding the purpose and direction of the offering. In Hebrew, "LORD" is "YHWH," the personal name of God, signifying His eternal, self-existent nature. This name is a reminder of God's covenant relationship with Israel, highlighting His faithfulness and unchanging character. Offering sacrifices "to the LORD" signifies that worship is directed solely to Him, acknowledging His rightful place as the object of worship and devotion. For believers, this phrase serves as a call to ensure that all acts of worship and service are directed to God alone, recognizing His supreme authority and love.

(24) Cast salt.--The word means throw or pour, indicating a more copious use of salt than the seasoning ordained by the law (Leviticus 2:13).
