The Importance of Ethnic Recordkeeping in the Second Exodus

There's some questionable genealogies that get described here at the end of chapter two. The following came up from the towns of Tel Melha, Tel Harsha, Karab, Adon and Immer but they could not show that their families were descended from Israel. And then chapter two wraps up saying in total, there were 42,360 people who went besides their 7,300 man servants and maid servants. They had 736 horses and 245 mules and 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
