Offspring Number and Bible The
The bible does not really speak of a particular number of off spring, but it does say that many off spring are a blessing to the man.

Psalm 127:3-5 3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. 4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. 5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. |
As we see this verse as a microcosm of the culture at the time, family size had to do with your own preservation. Notice a larger family gives more people to defend your land with. Thus the more children, the bigger the family, the more secure you are.
