    What is the name of the woman who was the mother of the most children in the Old Testament and the New Testament?

    Question #119673. Asked by Cowrofl. (Dec 28 10 7:44 PM)


    Arpeggionist

    I can't think of any woman in the Scriptures who gave birth more times than Milcah, wife of Nachor, brother of Abraham. Her eight children are named in Genesis 22:20-22, as listed: Utz, Buz, K'mu'el, Kesed, Chazo, Pildash, Yidlaf, B'tu'el.
    Leah, wife of Jacob later in Genesis, was the mother of six sons and one daughter.
    While David was said to be the youngest son among the ten children of Jesse (eight sons and two daughters according to 1 Chronicles), there is no account of who their mothers were.

    Eve was called "the mother of all living."
    No numbers given. ;)

    "A maternal ancestor to all living humans called mitochondrial Eve likely lived about 200,000 years ago, at roughly the same time anatomically modern humans are believed to have emerged, a new review study confirms."
