| Nov 3, 2015 at 14:41 | comment | added | Loewian | 1,200,000 is only twice the number of the men over 20. Are you assuming there were no/insignificant additional prophetesses? | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 5:37 | comment | added | msh210♦ | +1. But note there's some dispute over some on Rashi's list. | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 4:02 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @sabertabatabaeeyazdi The number of Jews counted in the census immediately following the Exodus (recorded in Numbers 2:32) is 603550, so twice that is 1207100. | |

| Dec 23, 2012 at 0:47 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @AaronLevian Thanks. Oded and Chanani certainly make sense as they are called a Navi in the pesukim in Divrei Hayamim (2:15:8 and 2:28:9 as well as 2:16:7 respectively). | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 0:34 | comment | added | AEML | Regarding the last two which were left as unknown, a note in Artscroll Megillah 14a2 (note 23) reads, "Rashi concludes by confessing ignorance of the identity of the remaining two prophets. Turei Even suggests Elazar ben Aharon the Kohen and Elihu ben Berachel the Buzite. The Vilna Gaon, however, maintains that the missing two are Oded the Prophet and Chanani the Seer. See also Rabbeinu Chananel." Hope this helps | |
