Gen 19:26 — But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

looked   "This unhappy woman, says the Rev. T. Scott, ""looked back,"" contrary to God's express command, perhaps with a hope of returning, which latter supposition is favoured by our LORD's words, ""Let him not return back: remember Lot's wife."" She was, therefore, instantaneously struck dead and petrified, and thus remained to after ages a visible monument of the Divine displeasure. Gen 19:17; Pro 14:14; Luk 17:31,32; Hbr 10:38"
and   Num 16:38
