And if you ask, why into a Pillar of Salt?
Why Salt? saith one, that by her example she might season others; that by her example all of us might be warned to take heed of looking back to any worldly interest.
But I think also by her looking back, she in some measure complied, and comported with the men of Sodom, as they were smitten with brimstone, fire, and Salt, Deut. 29. 23. And the whole Land thereof became Brimstone and Salt: So she complying with them, and returning in her heart and affections to them, partaking with them in their sin, doth partake with them also in their judgment, and so was turned into Salt.
