Genesis 19:26 meaning and explanation
But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:26, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Lot’s wife looks back as the family flees Sodom, despite the angels’ command in verse 17 not to look back or stop on the plain. The Hebrew verb carries the sense of lingering attention, not a single glance, and the narrative ties her fate to the city being destroyed behind her.
