Over 600,000 males, with their families. The total was at least two million. That is, according to Biblical estimates that like so many ancient stories and myths, had a tendency to hugely over-estimate numbers. Most experts on world population agree that at the time, the whole world population numbered no more than around 10 million. It is therefore extremely (make that 'totally') unlikely that a full 20% of that number would have been living on the small piece of land that was Palestine.

A study by Yigal Shiloh of The Hebrew University suggests that even much later, the total population of Palestine (that is, including other tribes such as the Samaritans, Philistines and several others) could never have been more than one million, and was probably much less. The original and only Jewish population may therefore have been no more than around 100,000, women and children included.

Who is promised messiah?

Jesus Christ is the Promised One. You can learn about his life in the New Testament of the Bible.Though he was present and prophesied about throughout the Old Testament. He is known as the Promised One because the Israelites, or the Jewish nation, were in captivity/slavery for the majority of their history. They prayed and waited for a deliverer to come and they believed the Messiah, or the one God promised he would send to free them, was coming soon. Jesus is the one God promised he would send, not only to save the Jews but all of mankind. Though Jesus was not what the Jewish people expected him to be, he came some 2000 years ago just as promised and made away for all men to be saved.
