Remember
This single word, "Remember," serves as a powerful imperative, urging the reader to recall and reflect upon a significant biblical event. In the original Greek, the word is "μνημονεύετε" (mnēmoneuete), which means to call to mind or to be mindful of something. This is not a passive recollection but an active, intentional act of remembrance. In the context of Scripture, remembering is often associated with obedience and faithfulness to God's commands. It is a call to keep God's past actions and teachings at the forefront of one's mind, influencing present behavior and decisions. This word sets the tone for the verse, emphasizing the importance of learning from past events to guide current and future actions.

Lot’s wife
The phrase "Lot’s wife" refers to a specific historical and biblical figure whose account is found in Genesis 19. Lot's wife is a cautionary tale of disobedience and the consequences of looking back when God has commanded otherwise. In the Hebrew Scriptures, she is unnamed, but her actions are infamous. As Lot and his family were fleeing the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, she looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt. This act of looking back symbolizes a longing for the past, a reluctance to fully commit to God's deliverance, and a failure to trust in His plan. In the broader biblical narrative, Lot's wife serves as a warning against the dangers of attachment to worldly things and the importance of wholehearted obedience to God. Her account is a vivid reminder of the cost of disobedience and the necessity of moving forward in faith without hesitation or regret.

(32) Remember Lot's wife.--The reference to this, as to the history of Lot generally, is peculiar to St. Luke, and speaks strongly for the independence of his Gospel. The account of Lot's wife had, however, already been used, or was used shortly afterwards (the date of the Wisdom of Solomon being an unsettled problem), to point a like moral, and the "standing pillar of salt" had become "a monument of an unbelieving soul" (Wisdom Of Solomon 10:7). She had looked back, as the disciples were told not to look, and the glance had been fatal (Genesis 19:26).
