I do not agree with some of the things in Exodus for example the story of Moses leading 600,000 men
out of Egypt. The figure 600,000 is much too big. It would have taken Moses and his followers days to complete the crossing of the sea. By that time, Pharaoh and his well-armed army could have caught up with the fleeing Israelites and smite them down one by one.
The trek across the blazing Sinai Desert towards Palestine, the promised land, would take a long time. Stopping at Mt.Sinai alone for a communion with God, took Moses 40 days.What about food supply and tents? Moses could not have possibly brought enough of them to feed and shelter 600,000
men, that did not include women and children yet.
Exodus is a fact confirmed by the Quraan but the details provided by the Bible is a myth.
