There are more than thirty -two references in the Bible to '''salt''' <ref>'''Salt''' is the every day term for the chemical compound ''Sodium Chloride'' (''NaCl''); it occurs naturally in many parts of the world and is particularly prevalent in the area of the ''[[Dead Sea]]''. '''Halite''' is the mineral form of sodium chloride.</ref><ref>An interesting quality of salt is that when it is used it looses itself. Example, (1) when used in cooking the salt can not be seen; it makes its contribution and is "gone". (2) In various chemical processes, salt "dissipates" after it has fulfilled its purpose.</ref> in the Bible. Probably the most familiar being the story of Lot's wife who turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back at the city of Sodom in Genesis 19:26. The other story is where Jesus Christ refers to his followers as the "salt of the earth" in Matthew 5:13. In Scripture, the context of salt is used in very different contexts metaphorically to signify different contexts and different meanings.<ref>See "How to Read Scripture article" </ref>
