According to the Book of Exodus, it took forty years for the Israelites to reach the Promised Land of the Canaanites.
According to most historians today, the Israelites were always part of the Promised Land, because they were themselves Canaanites who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities and settled peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.
