The Exodus Population

The Bible claims 600,000 men (2M+ people) left Egypt, which is historically impossible.

Religious Claim

Exodus 12:37

"And the people of Israel journeyed... about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children."

Historical Consensus

Zero archaeological evidence exists for a migration of this size in the Sinai desert.

Analysis

A population of 2 million people wandering the desert for 40 years would leave massive archaeological traces. Modern archaeology suggests the Israelites emerged indigenously within Canaan.
