God did not allow Moses to reach the promised land. Rather, he died at Mt. Nebo
(as God has said in Numbers 20:12, "And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron,
Because ye believed Me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel,
therefore ye shall not bring this congregation, into the land which I have given
them." KJV) where he was able to see a panoramic view of the promised land.
Moses led the Children of Israel during their nation-building in the wilderness,
from the exodus from Egypt to the threshold of entering the Promised Land, a
period of 40 years, but never in his life set foot in the land.
The Bible says that the Hebrew people wandered about in the wilderness for a period of 40 years.
40 days and 40 nights
the Lord told him to take the Israelites to the Promised Land{canaan}
It took the Israelite a total of 40 years to reach the promised land.
Moses took the people to Palestine.AnswerHe took the ex-slaves into the wilderness. It was Joshua who took them into the Holy Land.
No. They openly engaged in fear-mongering and were thus a threat to the eventual achievement of entering the Promised Land. There was no way nor reason for Moses to protect them. Joshua and Caleb, however, did not take part in this fear-mongering and therefore were the only people who departed Egypt who made it into the Promised Land.
By walking, approximately 2 weeks. The above answer is absolutely right. The reason it took the Israelites 40 years was because of their unbelief in not wanting to enter the promised land. They also went by a more round about route which would have made it take a month or two longer anyway. Much of the 40 years was spent at Kadesh-Barnea in the Negev region.
Joshua was a friend of Moses, and was one of the spies sent into the Promised Land. He has his sidekick, Caleb, were the only two who said that with God's help that they could take the land that had been promised to them. God was so upset with the Israelites' lack of faith in Him, that He caused the Israelites to wander for forty years in the wilderness, until the only people who had left Egypt and were still alive were Moses, Joshua and Caleb. Moses went up to the mountain to see the land and died there, leaving Joshua to lead the Israelites in. Faith and loyalty were his strengths.
Moses was on the mountain for forty days and nights.
The Lord caused them to wander in the wilderness for 40 years because of disobedience and the hardness of their hearts. Only Caleb who's heart was different and Joshua was allowed into the promised Land. They believe what the lord said. Spies where sent out to spy out the land. When the 12 spies returned that spied out the land, they said that there were giants in the land and could not be beaten. It was 40 years because the Lord did not want the generation that left Egypt to enter the promised land because of this, but Joshua and Caleb believed the Lord. Moses, not entering was a different issue and a different question.
Initially God ruled over Israel invisibly through Moses and and the 'Older Men', and then using human Judges(Othniel to Samson). (Judges 8:23; 1Samuel 12:12) The Israelites, however, cried out for a king, to be like the nations around them, so God allowed it and chose Saul. (1Samuel 8:5-8, 19)
They were from different tribes. Moses was a Levite; Joshua an Ephraimite.According to Josephus, Joshua was 35 years younger; but due to Joshua's zeal for Jehovah, the two men drew close, despite their age difference. (Somewhat like David and Jonathan.)Joshua was Moses' attendant. When Moses went into Mount Sinai, Joshua stayed up there (perhaps part way up) also for 40 days. Joshua also got to see the 'glory of the God of Israel'.Joshua was one of two faithful spies for Moses among the 12 who spied out the Promised Land for 40 days.Joshua was also an army general for Moses (Ex 17:9).He was also one of the 70 older men chosen by Moses to represent Moses in judicial problems among the people.It was Moses who 'placed his hand on Joshua' and appointed him to be his successor.
Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land because he disobeyed God's command when striking the rock to bring forth water instead of speaking to it as instructed. This act demonstrated a lack of faith and obedience, leading to God's decision not to allow Moses to enter the land.
