Reply To: The population of the Israelites during Exodus

But that doesn’t really affect the size of the population calcultion. Here is the result if you use 400 instead of 430 years:

20,932,334,587.41886

At 3% growth instead of 5% it would be:

9,549,660.276350075

At 2% growth instead of 5% it would be:

192,826.5116997499

The point is that in that length of time, with a significant growth that frightened the Egyptians, even with the shortend lifespans there would be a lot of people I think considering the math.
