NUMBERS very clearly records the numbers:

1) 43,730 from the tribe of Reuben

2) 22,200 from the tribe of Simeon

3) 40,500 from the tribe of Gad

4) 76,500 from the tribe of Judah

5) 64,300 from the tribe of Issachar

6) 60,500 from the tribe of Zebulun

7) 52,700 from the tribe of Manasseh

8) 32,500 from the tribe of Ephraim

9) 45,600 from the tribe of Benjamin

10) 64,400 from the tribe of Dan

11) 53,400 from the tribe of Asher

12) 45,400 from the tribe of Naphtali

For a TOTAL OF 601, 730

As to how many other men, women, and children went along here...it is guesswork. 2 MILLION to 6 MILLION is the range we find in various hermeneutics. Obviously, this is another of myriad impossible events listed in these tribal tales. No rational person debates the inerrancy claim in the bible. Not a single thing in the bible comports with the claim of either inerrancy or Divinity. But of course you knew that! :-)

That there are descriptions of supernatural phenomema in the Bible is true .... and now we know you believe in supernatural things too.

And of course, they carried all this wood and water and food and back scratchers out of Egypt! Plan and plan and plan!

Apparently, using the latrine involved a 3 mile walk out of a camp nearly the size of Rhode Island! And this was NOT DISCRETIONARY! It was LAW! Yahweh gave them specific instructions how to bury their poop! Did He give these instructions to all His other children scattered all over the world! NO! Why not. Because he hated them. They worshipped other gods and so did the Israelites. But when you're a simpleton creator who has done NOTHING but fail--you gotta take a chance on somebody and get really MEAN!!

It is ALL so childish! What is the matter with our brothers and sisters!? It is sooooooo sad.
