a wife of Lot

Patriarchs (Abraham–Joseph) Early Patriarch · H3876J
Old Testament

An unnamed wife of Lot, who was Terah's daughter-in-law.

Lot's wife is not named in the biblical text but appears in Genesis 19 as the woman who looked back at the burning cities of Sodom and Gomorrah against the angels' explicit command and was turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26). Jesus used her as a warning example of fatal attachment to the things left behind (Luke 17:32). She had accompanied Lot from Haran and was the mother of the two daughters who survived the destruction of the cities of the plain.
