I'm wondering how long the actual walk would have been rather than the 40 years it took the Israelites.

From Cairo to Jerusalem is 264 miles.
Say, five miles a day -- about seven weeks.

G-d actually told them to wander around for 40 years. because G-d didnt want some ppl to get to the promised land.

A week, maybe two. (Call it a week to Sinai, and it says a 3 day trip was planned for after they left Sinai). After all the pre-spies encampments, about a year and a half.

It would have taken them maybe half the time. I was getting so mad at tehm whwen iread how they were conastatly treating God. I felt bad for Him but then i realized that's how we all are sometimes but eps. the non-believers. He tells us to not do something but we do something to make Him mad adn then act like He isn;t important. Thats why i am doing my best to not treat God like the Isrealits did.

the reason the jews wandered the desert for forty years was cause one of them dropped a quarter
