Numbers
Let`s extrapolate the numbers
430 years--from 70 to 2M--factor of 28,500 (let`s round it to 30k)
next 430--2M x 30K =60M
next 430--60M x 30K = 1.8B
next 430--1.8B x 30K = 54B
next 430--54B x 30K = 1.6 T
next 430--1.6T x 30K = etc.
Correct my maths if you will,never my strongpoint.
Did YHWH tell the Israelites to turn off the tap? Any Biblical references?

I guess the fact that the Pesach (Passover)festival has played such a big part of Judaism might explain why the Exodus myth has persisted.
