  2. Explication du texte

What is the function of the repetition in verse 13?

Lévitique 2:13 (NEG79)

13 Tu mettras du sel sur toutes tes offrandes; tu ne laisseras point ton offrande manquer de sel, signe de l'alliance de ton Dieu; sur toutes tes offrandes tu mettras du sel.

The last two clauses of verse 13 are in apposition. This means that two phrases stand parallel to each other in order to create emphasis. As one author says, “It is absolutely, unequivocally, required to include salt in the offerings.”1
