When the Jewish people came to Egypt, there was only 70 of them. But When the Jewish people left Egypt about 200 years later, there was about 60,000 of them. This was because at the time that the Israelites were slaves, mothers gave birth to about 6 children at a time!
The Torah (Jewish Bible) says that around 600,000 men from 20yrs+ were there.
It does not, however, list how many women and children.

Moses and the Israelites.
After Moses crossed the Red Sea , he stretched out his rod, and the Red Sea joint up again.
Moses The Crossing of the Red Sea forms an episode in the biblical narrative of The Exodus. It tells of the escape of the Israelites, led by Moses, from the pursuing Egyptians, as recounted in the Book of Exodus. Moses holds out his staff and God parts the waters of the Yam Suph. The Israelites walk through on the dry ground and cross the sea, followed by the Egyptian army. Once the Israelites have safely crossed Moses lifts his arms again, the sea closes, and the Egyptians are drowned.
All the Hebrews and their animals and then Moses and Aaron crossed as well.
They didn't cross any oceans. The Torah says they crossed the Sea of Reeds (ים סוף). This sea is often mistakenly called the Red Sea.
Moses and the Israelite crossed the Red Sea.
Moses stretched out his staff and the Red Sea parted. After all the people had crossed to dry land, Moses stretched out his staff again and the waters came and drowned the Egyptians.
The Israelites miraculously crossed the dry seabed of the Sea of Reeds (Exodus 14), which is not necessarily the same as the Red Sea.
According to the Bible, Joshua led the Israelites across the River Jordan.
This has been a mistranslation. Moses never crossed the RED SEA - he crossed the SEA OF REEDS. The Israelites were being pursued by a vengeful Pharaoh's army, and were trapped with this sea in front of them. Moses prayed, and God caused the waters to part - allowing them to cross safely. The Egyptian army followed, but God caused the waters to close up again, causing the total destruction of the Egyptians and finally freeing the Israelites fromtheir slavery.
After Moses separated the Red sea , all the Hebrew people crossed to the other side.
Yes, the Israelites crossed the Reed Sea on dry land (Exodus ch.14). See also:Did the Exodus happenEvidence of the ExodusAnd the wider picture. Archaeology in general:Archaeology and the Hebrew Bible
