Quote from Cholent:

"If we believe we can't afford as a country to provide this benefit as it stands, then cut evenly across the board, or identify less at risk groups, like healthy adults, and cut them from the program. Cutting benefits from children from large families is a moral judgment that poor people should not have large families."

I would leave out the part about no BC. According to the gemara and midrashim each time took quite an effort on the mothers part to get pregnant. Tachas hatapuach....
Might have taken quite an effort, but even if your numbers are off by 50% they still were incredibly fruitful.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

exactly. My calculation reached a number astounding enough that even after all the different mitigating factors they still make the same point.

Here is the accurate calc.

The only real difference is that I used the total given by the mechilta according to the girsa of the GRA and he used a lower number. The basic calculation is the same.

TLDR?
600k males btwn ages 20-60
Approx another 600k in other age brackets. Total males 1.2mm

22k firstborn males into 1.2mm is approx 55 children per family.

Life expectancy in moshes time was 70 years. Assuming Max of ten pregnancies per mother in mitzrayim. Equals pretty much on the button 6 babies per pregnancy.

I hear. Either way the gaon's girsa in the mechilta calculates 600k 20-60 600k above 60 and 600k below then doubles for women.

My rov repeated a pshat this week that he's mentioned a few times before on וחמושים עלו .

4/5 died by מכת חושך. Hard to say those people's children died too. What happened to them? The remaining 1/5 adopted all the יתומים. So each family was like 5x what they should have been.

Why would bechorim have died at a significantly greater rate than non-bechors? Keep in mind that we are not diviidng by parents caring for children but by first-borns.

What does bechorim have to do with it? I'm not referring to the different versions of the calculations (haven't followed the whole conversation). Just simply adding an expansion of why the family sizes were so large, on top of the 6 or 60 per pregnancy.

Every single calculation above was based on bechorim. Which version of the calculations are YOU referring to?

I made an interesting calculation this shabbos. The Mechilta in parshas Bo accordingt o the girsa of the GRA says that the 600,000 Jews counted calculates to a total of 3.6million including women, below 20 and above 60 years old. This weeks parsha says there were 22,000 bechorim. If we double that to account for first-born girls we are left with 44,000 families of siblings. THat calculates to an average of about 81 children per family.
the 22k bechorim are of all ages or only by. 20 and 60

And of course that brings up another point. Some of those bechorim were very young (as young as a month) and didn't have more than 5 siblings yet. So the older families actually had way more than 81 children each.
