What were the temptations the Israelites had in the wilderness?
The Israelites spent almost the entire time in the wilderness studying the newly-given Torah, since they had no other occupation at the time. Thus the Torah became deeply embedded in the national conscious. They were assisted by the officers of tens, fifties, hundreds and thousands, who were leaders not only in battle (Numbers ch.31) but also in teaching and applying the Torah-laws (Exodus ch.18).
Though there were some complaints, there was also a thirty-seven year stretch in which not a single complaint was made. The nation was guided by God (Numbers 9:15-23), who protected them from much of the wear and tear that would have normally occurred (Deuteronomy 29:4). In the center of their encampment was the Mishkan (Tabernacle) in which God's presence dwelt (Exodus 40:34).
