You obviously don’t understand the way things work around here. 
I’m not even sure that I understand the response.
So, we can resolve the question about the translation of the word, yes? All well and good. But the numbers, if recorded correctly, are difficult to accept, unless I am reassured by more knowledgeable persons. A total of more than 600 thousand seems extravagant.
So, my question is: even if we accept the argument that the words mean specific numbers, do we further accept that the numbers are accurate? When I read about ancient history, an author will often caution me that the numbers given by classical historians are inflated. Are we accepting that the numbers are what the author(s) intended, but make no judgement on whether the numbers reflect the facts?
If they had more than 600 thousand fighting men available, wouldn’t they have kicked some Babylonian butt?
Your “signoff” was moderate, cordial and polite. Hence, you are not from around here.
No. The Jewish Study Bible says, “The census figures for each tribe, with a grand total of 603,550, are vastly inflated by any realistic standards.” And since those numbers are only for military age males, the number of Israelites is over 2.4 million if each MAM averaged only one wife, two children, and zero elderly parents. And Ex 12:38 says that there were also many non-Israelites, along with large flocks and herds, so the total could easily be over 2.5 million people, and however many sheep and cattle that many people would own.
One of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite movies, The Ten Commandments, shows what looks like a few thousand people taking about an hour to get across the Red Sea, just in time for it to fall back on Pharaoh’s soldiers. Skeptics like to point out that even if there were “only” 2.4 million people and no animals, and they marched ten abreast, with two feet between ranks, the line would be 90 miles long, and at 3 mph it would take well over a day before the end of the line reached the starting point. Of course, in practice they could only go as fast as the slowest person, and were weighed down with baggage, so it might have taken a week.
It’s very difficult to see how a mass of people that large could leave no sign of their passing, let alone a 40-year stay. Hence the attempt to lower the numbers.
