Not illustrated. 1863 edition. Excerpt: ... THE NTTMBER OF ISEAELITES AT THE TIME OF THE EXODUS. 116. 1n the first place, it must be observed, as already noted, that we nowhere read of any very large families among the children of Jacob or their descendants to the time of the Exodus. We may suppose, in order that we may have the population as large as possible, that very few died prematurely, and that those, who were born, almost all lived and multiplied.

The very numbering of these two among the ' seventy souls ' shows that the females ' out of the loins of Jacob ' were not omitted intentionally. 117. Some, indeed, have suggested that these two only were inserted, because they were either notorious already as, Dinah, or may have become notorious in after days, as may possibly have been the case with Asher's daughter, Serah, v. 17, though the Bible says nothing about it. But it is plain that this is only perverting the obvious meaning of the Scripture in G. xlvi. It is certain that the writer intends it to be understood that these seventy were the only persons, and these two the only females, who had at that time been born in the family of Jacob. And, though the fact itself, of this wonderful preponderance of males, may seem very strange, and...
