Genesis 19:26

19:26 But Lot’s ¹  wife looked back longingly ²  and was turned into a pillar of salt.

Genesis 25:21

25:21 Isaac prayed to ³  the Lord on behalf of his wife because she was childless. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.

Genesis 49:31

49:31 There they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah; there they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah; and there I buried Leah.

¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Lot) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn The Hebrew verb means “to look intently; to gaze” (see 15:5).

³ tn The Hebrew verb עָתַר (’atar), translated “prayed [to]” here, appears in the story of God’s judgment on Egypt in which Moses asked the Lord to remove the plagues. The cognate word in Arabic means “to slaughter for sacrifice,” and the word is used in Zeph 3:10 to describe worshipers who bring offerings. Perhaps some ritual accompanied Isaac’s prayer here.
