Greetings Barb, The Bible does not tell us just which lady gave birth and/or mothered the most children. Solomon mentions something about fathering a hundred children in Ecclesiastes 6:3, but he was not speaking of a particular individual. If you want to know which lady was the ancestor of all 'children', then it could only be Eve, and Adam would be the man who is the ancestor of all children. Perhaps you would be better served by consulting the Guiness Book of World Records. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Thanks, Makarios, It really wasn't a joke question on my part. Someone else was asking me, along with the oldest woman that gave birth - Sarah, at 90. I thought perhaps it could be Sarah, who was made a 'mother of nations' - Gen 17:17. |

Makarios, My friend just go back with me on the mother 'in the Bible' with the most children. Check out Gen 46:15 - Leah, with 33 children - 32 boys and 1 daughter. But, her friend told her Jochbed was the oldest Mother. He has 'other sources'. This is Moses' Mother, but the Bible doesn't tell her age, that I can find. Barb |

Greetings Barb, Actually, Leah only gave birth to Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun and Dinah. So that makes 6 boys and 1 daughter. The rest of the descendants spoken of in Genesis 46:9-15 were Leah's and Jacob's grandchildren, the direct descendants of one of the children named above. It seems as if your friend might be misquoting his source, and sometimes it helps to check the source to see if it is correct. :-) I also love to use resources, but sometimes I find that they are not entirely correct after close scrutiny and examination. But I do agree, Leah had her hands full with children! :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios, You are certainly right! I just went back and read all those scriptures myself, picking out the children and the grandchildren. My friend was given that information by her friend. :) Thanks, Barb |
