The Israelites probably live shorter lives than 100 years and the average family had around 10 children per wife if there was more than one wife, this was not a common practice for the nation of Israel at this point in time. The reason there were so many people was due to the fact that they were in Egypt for 400 years, this would be about 10 generations in a simple math situation. However you must take into account, at the age of 14-16 couples were married and started to have children, after the first 14 years or so the next generation would be having children and a new generation would start every year after that for some 350 years. Start doing the math and you will find that there where a great number in the nation of Israel after 400 years. In no way were there just four generations.
And the proof is?
