יחזקאל, פרק מ״ג, פסוק כ״ד

The final stage of the sacrificial service requires placing the offerings upon the altar along with an essential ingredient. The act of presenting these offerings is fulfilled through their actual burning on the altar [מצודת דוד].

During this process, the priests must cast salt upon the animal. This requirement rests directly on the explicit commandment found in the Torah, which mandates the addition of salt to every sacrifice [רד״ק, מצודת דוד]. Afterward, the priests elevate the offerings [ביאור שטיינזלץ] to be processed as burnt offerings. This specific type of sacrifice is entirely consumed by the fire of the altar, dedicated completely to God [מצודת דוד].
