People tend to exaggerate AV, they make errors. Do you really think it would have been inconceivable for someone to mistakenly count far more than was in reality?

This confirms what I've said here many times.
Unbelievers will move the decimal place as needed to make their theories stick.
Usually I say that with respect to a discussion on deep time, but I'm sure if they can move the decimal place with respect to time, they can move it with respect to other things as well.
The Egyptians noted the health of the Hebrew women regarding childbirth. The number of men was 600,000. Are we to assume they had no wives, children, or living parents? Even if those men only had wives, and they were both 20 years old that would be 1,200,000 Israelites that came out. However the story includes children,
"And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children." Exodus 12:37
Ah, here we go, you looked at the one that comes BEFORE people kept accurate health records. 3000 BC-300BC has the range at 20-30 years and is the first range based on actual records.
That sounds reasonable. Writing, keeping records, and keeping health records, would have been an improvement in healthcare, leading to a longer lifespan.

Personally, I think the numbers in the bible are often exaggerated. I have found that dropping one or two of the 0's tends to make a reasonable number for the ones in the hundreds and up.
After all, with the tools of the past that many people would not be capable of sustaining themselves in such a small area. Hmm, yup, 6 thousand sounds plausible. That would still have been a ton of people for the time period, and certainly astounding to see, but 600 thousand? Back then? No.
Correct -- seven times, to be exact.You do realize that the bible has been edited AFTER that, right?

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
"And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly." Genesis 47:2
God instructed Israel to live in Goshen, so he could bless and multiply their numbers. Goshen was larger and more fertile than rest of Egypt itself.
It's a matter of remembering.There is no evidence that Jews were ever slaves in Egypt, or wandered the desert.
You tell me then.Oh, it has long since been far more times than that.
There is no evidence that Jews were ever slaves in Egypt, or wandered the desert. Not one hieroglyphic, not one pot shard, nothing. So I don't see how the Egyptians could have commented.
Not to mention God parting the Rio Grande?You don't realize how ridiculous 600 thousand would be for that time, do you? That would be a population of people that could fill a whole nation and then some for the time. It is literally more ridiculous than 50 million U.S. citizens packing up and leaving for Mexico all at the same time.
You tell me then.
How many times did God edit His word?

It's only recently that historians record their nations defeats as well as their victories. Why would the Egyptians record the disaster wrought upon them by enslaving Israel? It was also customary for the victors to remove or destroy all traces of their enemies from the land, including the soil itself. Interestingly God caused Israel to record everything, good and bad.
The comments are recorded in Israel's history book, not Egypt's. Why would the Egyptians record events they didn't want anyone to remember?
