To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This has reference to the number of the Israelites at the time of the Exodus, and the whole of the Itth chapter of his book is devoted to the attempt to demonstrate that it is impossible that they could at that time have been as numerous as the record represents them to have been, — and consequently that the record is unreliable. The Bishop maintains with great confidence and complacency that it is a natural impossibility that the Israelites could have numbered 600,000 males of over 20 years of... age at the time in question, or that the total population could have numbered 2,000,000 at that time, which must have been the case to admit of the proportion of adult males above stated. But let us permit the Bishop to speak for himself. He says : — " In the first place it must be observed as already noted, that we nowhere read of any very large families among the children of Jacob or their descendants, to the time of the Exodus. We may suppose, in order that we may have the population as large as pos- sible, that very few died prematurely, and that those who were born almost all lived and multiplied.
