Abstract

The author focuses on the presentation of controversial numerical data relating to the Exodus of the Chosen People from Egypt. These figures range from 6 thousand to over 600 thousand people; some authors estimate the total number of refugee, along with families, even on 3 millions of persons (!). Unfortunately, it is not possible to adequately convert the data contained in the text of the Holy Scriptures, in order to avoid incorrect and over-interpretation. Simultaneously it has been proved the rlatitude of complementing the original text. Th e whole is based on analysis of the opinions of Polish and foreign authors. Th e text presents a number of diffi culties from diff erent areas. They relate to the „Exit” or „escape” of the Chosen People from slavery in Egypt, but do not to solve these problems.
