where did salt come from in biblical times
Salt in the Bible The main source of salt in the region was the area of the Dead Sea, especially the massive, about seven miles long, salt cliffs of Jebel Usdum.[1] The face of the ridge is constantly changing as weather interacts with the rock salt. Ezekiel 47:11 highlights the importance of the Dead Sea's salt.[2]
Tribe of Judah According to the Hebrew Bible, the Tribe of Judah (Hebrew: שֵׁבֶט יְהוּדָה‬, Modern Shevet Yehuda Tiberian Sheveṭ Yəhûḏā, "Praise") was one of the twelve Tribes of Israel.
Lythrum salicaria Native to Europe, Asia, northwest Africa, and southeastern Australia.[2][6][7][8]
Josiah The only textual sources of information for Josiah's reign are from the Bible,[4] notably 2 Kings 22–23 and 2 Chronicles 34–35. No archaeological evidence for Josiah as a person exists. Seals and seal impressions from the period stated in the Bible to be that of Josiah's reign show a transition from those of an earlier period which bear images of stars and the moon, to seals that carry only names, a possible indication of Josiah's enforcement of monotheism.[24] No other archaeological evidence for the religious changes attributed to Josiah in the Bible has been discovered.[24]
