Fun Bible Facts
March 19, 2012 at 9:16 am
The Jewish population in Egypt is well documented in the Holey Bible. It went from just 70 to over a million in just four generations!
Consider, there were four generations from Joseph to Moses.
Quote:Ex 6:16 And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari:
Ex 6:18 And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel:
Ex 6:20 And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses:
So we go from Levi to Kohath to Amram to Moses. Four generations.
Population of the Jews in Egypt: 70.
Quote:Ex 1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
Population at the time of Exodus: 600 K males plus women and children.
Quote:Ex. 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
Now let's assume a 1:1 ration of males to females. This means 1.2 M adult population. So the adult Jewish-Egyptian population by generation, assuming a steady population growth with each generation, went like this:
70
1.8 K
47 K
1.2 M
This means that every Jewish-Egyptian couple would need to have had 52 children each over the course of those four generations. This figure only makes sense if every Jewish-Egyptian woman from 14-40 was constantly pregnant with twins!
Now THAT was miracle!

May I ask how long you believe a generation to be?
Or if you prefer how long did Moses Live? How long did Joseph live?
How many wives did the average man take?
What was the average size of the Jewish family while in captivity of Egypt?

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.

Why do you believe "youth" to be what we consider to be young?
Quote:Quote:How many wives did the average man take?

Would it not make sense if you were a slave owning nation undergoing a massive building project, to encourage or even force the production of more "free labor?" Thereby increasing the number of "wives" a man would typically have. Remember they were all considered to be properity of Pharroh, and it was left to him to feed and provide for the mass of Jews... Not what the man of the house could afford.
(The US did the same thing a few hundred years ago when the importing of slave became more restrictive)

If you believe you reasoning to remain solid, then appearently so.
