Where in the Bible does it say how long it was supposed to take Israel to go through the wilderness?

In the King James version we read Exo 16:1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. and Exo 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. and Exo 16:35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan. So they got the manna one month and fifteen days after they left Egypt, and they got it for forty years - so forty years, one month and fifteen days - but this is usually rounded off to 'forty years' when people speak of it.
