The Bible tells us that women and men still became less fertile as they aged, the same as now.
Quote:Gen 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
So although people lived several hundred years, their years of fertility were still limited to their youth as now.
Quote:How many wives did the average man take?
Considering they were slaves, probably not many. It tends to be the wealthy and powerful that have multiple wives.
Quote:What was the average size of the Jewish family while in captivity of Egypt?
54 apparently.
