The Israelites spent about one year in the wilderness before the twelve spies were sent out to scout the land of Canaan. This period included their escape from Egypt, the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai, and preparation for entering the Promised Land. The sending of the spies occurred in the second year after their exodus, specifically in the second month of that year.

How long were the israelites in the wilderness before the spies were sent?

The Israelites entered the wilderness on the 16th of Nisan, 1312 BCE, the day after the Exodus. The spies (Numbers ch.13) were sent on the 29th of Sivan of the second year (Talmud, Taanit 29a). So your answer is that the spies were sent when the Israelites had been in the wilderness for one year and two-and-one-half months. See also:More about the Spies and other complaints

How many days did it take the isrealites to go though the wilderness?

Scholars calculate the Israelites to have wandered in the wilderness for 38 or 39 years; tradition holds it was "40 years" although that number may be an ancient metaphor for a generally large number and hence simply meaning, a long time although an actual forty years would still be pretty accurate. According the the Old Testament, Moses led them out of bondage from Egypt, Joshua helped lead them into the promised land.
