A pillar of salt named "Lot's wife" is located near the Dead Sea at Mount Sodom in Israel. The Mishnah states that a blessing should be said at the place where the pillar of salt is.

A salt formation known as "Lot's Wife as a Pillar of Salt", located near the Dead Sea, at Mount Sodom in Israel.

Is Lot’s wife still standing near the Dead Sea?

When the cities of Sdom and Amora were about to be destroyed, Lot and his family were commanded (Breisheet 19:17) “Escape for your life; Do not look behind you and do not stay on the plain, run for the mountains lest you be consumed.”

Rashbam brings three reasons for why they were told not to look backwards:
So that they would not have mercy on their daughters and sons in law who refused to leave with them, so that they would not be held up along the way and so that they would not see the angels destroying the city.

When God poured sulphur and fire on the cities, Lot’s wife did not follow the commandment not to look back as it says in Breisheet 19:26 “But his wife looked back from behind him and she became a pillar of salt.”

Why did she look back after already being warned not to?

According to Pirkei De Rebbi Eliezer, she had mercy on her two married daughters who lived in Sdom and she wanted to check to see if they were following the rest if the family out of the city.

Near the Dead Sea, a huge rock was found which is identified as Lot’s wife. In the Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 218:8 the halacha was codified: When you see Lot’s wife one should recite the blessing: “Dayan HaEmet” (Bless God who is the true judge) and in memory of Lot one should recite “Zocher Tzadikim” (Remember the Righteous).

Yesterday, I was driving along the Dead Sea and saw a sign that said “Lot’s wife.” The sign points to a rock formation that looks like a woman. The chances that this rock is actually Lot’s wife are very slim considering that the rock is much bigger than an actual person. Also, over thousands of years the shape of the rock would have probably changed. However, we know that she was turned into a pillar of salt in that vicinity, we just don’t know exactly where. The sign reminds us that the story took place in that area and the Dead Sea was formed by the destruction of Sdom and Amora and that is why to this day nothing will grow there.

I believe this is true, wind dosn't blow in that area , and heat wouldn't shed break and re-shapen the 'salt', isn't God Awesome ♥️



So I decided not to foolishly believe that rock there has liver kidney , stomach womb etc as the Bible claimed

My elder was there some time in the spring of last year and from the pictures that he posted, there was no way that thing could have been a lapidified human.

Went online to do a little research and I found out that it was nothing but the remains of a collapsed salt cave- about the biggest salt cave in the world.

In other words, the whole story is nothing but folk legend but it somehow found its way into the bible.

The story of Lot's exit from Sodom, including Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt is true; Jesus referenced it. That the particular rock shown in the pictures in my earlier posts is Lot's wife may be folk legend, which came well after the event of Lot leaving Sodom. Even Lot and his two daughters may not have witnessed Lot's wife turn into salt, unless the wife was in front of them when it happened. Bible account, as well as archaeological discovery, show that Lot and his two surviving daughters did not interact with any human being before they died. Only the Holy Spirit knows how the story and the rest of the Torah (five books of Moses) came about. The Jews regard the Torah as being straight from God.

Lol, none of that ever happened.

How did you come about this?
The story said Lot's wife turned to salt, not stone, and this more than 5000 years ago.

You really expect a pillar of salt to remain there to prove to you that the event occurred? No wonder.
