If there really was an Exodus from Egypt, the Israelites would have had around 200 kilometres to travel, even by a circuitous route, in order to reach the borders of Canaan. The leading Israelites could have walked this in just a few days, although the remainder of the two and a half million people would have continued to arrive for several more weeks. With a total of 600,000 fighting men, as portrayed in The Bible, even the advance guard could have overwhelmed any Canaanite city of the time without any trouble.

Actually the trip was uncertain but it took them 40 long years , the reason being the golden calf.

Had the Israelites not brought about the various delays (Exodus ch. 32-33, Numbers ch.11, ch.12, ch.13, ch.14), the journey would have taken a matter of weeks, not decades.
