You will need to get first a passport issued from your home country ( if that's where you are currently ) or from your embassy in your country where you lost the passport ( if its not your home country that issued the passport in the first place). Once the passport is issued, just send the passport to the saudi embassy along with iqama copy and ERE copy and your passport copy and iqama copy and they will update the information.

Good day
You have to issue a new passport then go to the nearest Saudi embassy (copy your iqama,wife iqama, old & new passport) to get an entry visa to continue residency in Saudi (in Arabic, mowaslt iqama)
