But all the families with at least one boy born have a firstborn male, don't they ? That would make about 20 times more "firstborn male" than you give. | |

History is full of political powers fighting minorities that were perceived "too numerous and powerful for us" while being below 10% of the population : think of Jews in Western Europe, Romani in Eastern Europe or Muslim in the US right now. So I don't think this quote cannot support your 1:1 ratio hypothesis between Hebrews and Egyptians. | |
