In the fall of 1996 the author enrolled in a graduate course at Sacred Heart Major Seminary entitled Method & Pentateuch (course #SS-521). During the course the instructor implied that the Exodus of Israel from Egypt had to be myth because the birth rate of children per woman during Israel stay in Egypt had to be so high (10, 11, 12 children per woman) and this is a unreasonable high birth rate per woman. This book will address the question "Can anyone make the claim that the Exodus of Israel from Egypt is myth based on the singular argument that the birth rate of children per woman during Israel stay in Egypt is so high (10, 11, 12 children per woman) and therefore is unreasonable." The answer begins by asking the question what birth rate of children per woman during Israel stay in Egypt is required to obtain Israel population growth described in Genesis to Exodus. The author examines this question utilizing two methods: a machine design analysis of Israel population growth from Genesis to Exodus and a statistical numerical analysis of Israel population growth from Genesis to Exodus. The machine design analysis requires a birth rate of 3.366 to 4.252 children per woman to obtain Israel population growth from Genesis to Exodus. The statistical numerical analysis requires a birth rate of 3.540 to 4.167 children per woman of to obtain Israel population growth from Genesis to Exodus. The claim that the Exodus of Israel from Egypt is myth based on the singular argument that the birth rate required of children per woman during Israel stay in Egypt is so high (10, 11, 12 children per woman) is mathematically invalid.

In the study of Sacred Scripture some people believe that the Exodus of Israel from Egypt is myth and other people believe the Exodus of Israel from Egypt is a historic event. For people that hold the position that the Exodus of Israel is a historic event the Sacred Scripture timeline is as follows. Using 968 BC (Saint Joseph Edition of the New American Bible, p.329, note 6,1) as the fourth year of Solomon's reign the Exodus event would have occurred approximately 1448 BC (968 BC + 480 years equals 1448 BC). According to Exodus 12: 40-42 Israel spent 430 years in Egypt therefore Israel entry into Egypt is approximately 1878 BC (968 BC + 480 years + 430 years equals 1878 BC). Overall from a Sacred Scripture perspective Israel time in Egypt is from approximately 1878 BC to approximately 1448 BC. The author of this book using graphical analysis of Sacred Scripture text, human reasoning, and numerical analysis suggests that 1Kings 6:1 is in error by approximately 170 to 450 years. An error of 450 years could potentially place Israel entry into Egypt as far back as approximately 2328 BC (968BC + 480 years + 430 years + 450 years equals 2328 BC). For people that hold to the position that the Exodus of Israel from Egypt is a historic event 1Kings 6:1 error potentially opens a greater period of Egyptian history to their argument: The Old Kingdom; 2686 - 2181 BC1; p.31 The First Intermediate Period; 2181 - 2040 BC1; p.69 The Middle Kingdom; 2040 - 1782 BC1; p.69 The Second Intermediate Period; 1782 - 1570 BC1; p.69 The New Kingdom; 1570 - 1070 BC1; p.991Chronicle of the Pharaohs, Peter A.
