What is the difference between moses crossing the red sea and Joshua crossing the Jordan river?

Moses crossed the red sea in order to escape from the Egyptians and slavery. After they crossed the Red Sea, they wandered around for 40 years. At last, they were guided by God to the promised land which they had to cross the Jordan River to enter. Unfortunately Moses died just before they entered the promised land, so the Israelites were guided by Joshua. So the Red Sea: escaping from slavery in Egypt. The Jordan River: entering the promised land.

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.
