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.

Does Moses try to protect the 12 spies from God?

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.


How many miles from Egypt to 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.

How long did it take for the children of Israel to travel from Egypt to the land of Canann after exit or around mount Mariah?

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.


Who lead the israelites after Joshua?

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)


Was Joshua the son of Moses?

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.


Why was Moses not allowed to enter the Promised Land?

Another answer:Moses was allowed in the promised land but he died and went up because he portrayed God as an angry God.Even though he did God's work, Moses was ignorant and was angered because the Israelites whom he rescued from Egypt wher still in disbelief that there was a god.When they were in need of water they said that God could not help them.God told Moses to take his staph and knock it against a wall and water will flow out but Moses was so angry at the Israelites that he slammed his staph against the wall causing water to rush out.So they feared god in a frightening way not a respectful one.Moses did not go into heaven in a chariot of flames.A: This is what I understand the Bible to say. Moses did not enter the promised land. He died in the hills of Moab (Deut 32:50 and 34:5).Moses also predicted this himself. (Deut 4:22)He ever entered the land because he disobeyed God. Moses was instructed to speak to a rock and water and water would flow out but Moses struck the rock with his staff. (Num20:7-12)A:Deuteronomy 32:49-52 - "Go up this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, across from Jericho; view the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel as a possession; and die on the mountain which you ascend, and be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people; because you trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not hallow Me in the midst of the children of Israel. Yet you shall see the land before you, though you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel."Moses' trespass was partly in that he struck the rock rather than speak to it as God told him to; but the greater trespass was in what Moses said at the time:Numbers 20:10-12 - And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?"Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."Another answer:Look, it's very simple. There have been no archeological studies that confirm that Moses, let alone existed, but led the slaves out of Israel. So you're answer is, he didn't get the Israelites into Israel because it didn't happen.Another answer:Moses was denied entry into the Promised Land because he disobeyed God's command to speak to the rock. Instead, he hit it in anger.
