Lot had sons-in-law so that had to be at least 2 more so we are up to 6.

sons-in-law meant he had at least 2 married daughters so now we are up to 8.

and if the number of sons-in-law and married daughters were 3 or more that would have brought the total up to 10.

In 2 Peter 2:7-9 the Apostle Peter refers to Lot as "just," "righteous" and "godly"

He started at 50 though. And his appeal was for the entire city.

The righteousness of a few covering the righteousness of all... this was Abrams plea.

He was Jew for goodness sake. They wrote the book on dickering.

Gotta start with a big number and work your way down.

I heard Laura Schlesinger on radio once and she laughed and made that very same statement, herself being a Jew.
