The phrase "40 years in the wilderness" typically refers to the biblical account of the Israelites' journey in the desert after their exodus from Egypt. According to the Book of Numbers in The Bible, it is estimated that around 600,000 adult men, plus women and children, left Egypt, and it is said that an entire generation, except for Joshua and Caleb, died during the 40 years due to their disobedience and lack of faith. This would suggest that hundreds of thousands died during that period, although exact numbers are not specified.
