First, they didn't know where they were going, they just went where they were told. Moses told them that they were being led by God.
Once they got there, the people chose to send in spies to survey the country. 10 of the dozen spies said that they wouldn't be able to take on the people of the land; only Joshua and Caleb showed any amount of faith in God. Because of their disobedience and lack of faith, God told them to turn around and wander in the desert for 40 years, until all but Joshua and Caleb had died ... even Moses.
Answer:
The Israelites were never likely to have made the journey in ten days considering the delays they experienced. Very early on in their travels, the decision had been made to take a more circuitous route to avoid the warring nation of the Philistines:
Exodus 13:17
'When Pharoah let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, ' If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.'
Also, God wanted to teach His people about Himself and his laws. This also took up time. But as referred to above, the major delay by far was because they doubted God's power and showed cowardice.
Answer:
Exodus 13:17... "The land of the Philistines"
God led the Israelites through the land of the Philistines, hundreds of years before the Philistines were established in Canaan.
see link on left "The Exodus"
Answer:
When the 40 years of wilderness wanderings were over the Israelites finally entered Canaan through the land adjacent to Jericho. This is just North of the current day Dead Sea to the East side of Canaan. As the Philistines were a seafaring people their land was along the coast.
Answer:
If one is honestly asking why the people wandered in the desert so long, God answers this question in Deuteronomy 8:2-5. He indicates that He led them all the way in the desert to humble them and test them. He also intimates that He taught them to trust him, He provided for all their needs, and He was disciplining them as a father disciplines his child.

∙ 14y agobecoz god does things at his own time
The Israelites could have been into the promised land alot sooner but they were doubting God's power to take them into the promised land, so GOD Made them spend 40 years wandering the wilderness until all the Israelites that God had released from Egypt had died. So basically it was because of a lack of faith.

∙ 12y agoIt took the Israelites a full 40 years to reach the promised land.
The journey was really a 10 day journey, however God lead them away from the waring countries to reach the promise land of Cannaan. Israel reached the outer part of Cannaan in 11 weeks at Kadish-Bernier, where they sent 12 men to spy out the land. On their return 10 men gave a report of not being able to take the land, only Joshua, and Calaab gave a report of faith in God to move forward on the land.
It was because of the people's lack of faith in God, sent Israel into the wilderness for 40 years to fulfill his promise "this generation of Israel shall not enter into the land promised" to allow all but Joshua, and Calaab from entering into Cannaan, Israel wandered for 40 years causing the faithless generation to die off, instead of 11 weeks which God had plan for Israel's first generation. Israel's children entered into Cannaan 40 years later.

How many Israelites were killed by God during the Exodus?
According to the Bible, 600,000 fighting men left Egypt with their wives and children. It has been suggested that the total number of people would have been at least two and a half million. The story goes on to say that all those who were adults when leaving Egypt died before entering Canaan, except Joshua and Caleb. One would also expect that, in the normal way of things, many children also died in the journey, including many who were born during the Exodus. Thus, one would expect the number of deaths to be in the millions.Archaeologists have looked for evidence of the wandering Israelites, or even gravesites along the way, but have found nothing. Also there is nothing in the extensive documentation we have from Egypt in the Late Bronze Age to suggest any disruption to life in Egypt. Nearly all scholars have concluded that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. The Hebrew people did not die fleeing from Egypt.
