39. The Apostles say to the Disciples: May our entire offering obtain salt! They called [wisdom] ‘salt’—without it no offering becomes acceptable.

39. Los apóstoles dicen a los discípulos: ¡Que toda nuestra ofrenda obtenga sal! Ellos llamaban ‘sal’ [a la sabiduría]—sin ella ninguna ofrenda se hace aceptable.
