Moses led the Jew out of Egypt to the promised land. However they had to wander in the wilderness for 40 years below entering this promised land.
In Deut 1:35, it was stated that "Not one of these men, this evil generation, shall see the good land which I swore to give your fathers except... (a few...).
Moses came out of Egypt with a few million Jews. No, it's not true that a few million Jews died in the wilderness and only children bornt during the 40 years had entered the promised land. If that is the case, then there would be a few million graves along the route to the promised land. Impossible, right? How can all those who entered into the promised land be less than 40 years old (except a few)? Cannot be!
You see, at any point in time, there are a few generations co-existing. At anypoint in time, there are great-grandfathers, grandfathers, fathers and children in existence. In other words, there are 4 or even 5 generations co-existing at any one period of time. If one generation died in that 40-year journey, then probably only one-fifth of those who left Egypt (1 out of 5 generations) died before reaching the promised land.
Most likely, it was only Moses' generation that died before entering the promised land. Moses' children's and grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's generations entered the promised land.
Do u think my interpretation is correct?
