Logistics of the Exodus

Report 4 Downloads 108 Views
Logistics of the Exodus A. The people needed 2,000 tons -- four million pounds -- of food each day. To bring that much food each day, would require three freight trains each a mile long! B. In the desert they needed firewood to cook and keep warm. Each day this would take 4,000 tons eight million pounds of wood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long. C. 11 million gallons each day, and a freight train with tank cars 1,800 miles long, just to bring water!

Each time they camped at the end of the day, they needed a campground two-thirds the size of the State of Rhode Island, about 750 square miles.
