How long should it have taken Moses to get to the promised land?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

A matter of weeks.

Answer 5

11 days
