quote:
If we are fine with agriculture in Goshen 3500 years ago why has the ultra consrvative christian scholar Nahum Sarna said that: More serious is the objection that the "land of Goshen", identified by most scholars with Wadi Tumilat, west of Ismalia, where the Israelites were concentrated, could not possibly have supported a population of the size implied. ABout thirty-eight miles (sixty Kilometers) long and less than three mile (four kilometers) wide, it was not suited for agriculture on a large scale in ancient times.

Oy vey! When did Rabbi Sarna convert?
