A common argument against the Israelite population reaching millions by the Exodus is that they did not have enough time in Egypt to make that feasible. Could they have gotten to millions within 4 centuries - what about in 2 centuries or in 4 generations?
Episode 314 min

Episode 412 min

Episode 510 min
The Egypt Challenge to Large Numbers
