Why Did It Take The Israelites 40years From Egypt To Israel? by Nobody: 3:24pm On Oct 02, 2016
The distance between Egypt and Israel is about 613 Kilometers.
But it took Moses and the Israelites 40years to complete their journey. angry
On the average each day, they walked only 43metres, yes, 43metres, almost half of what Usain Bolt does in 5seconds. undecided
I just wish Moses was around to explain this Laziness. undecided

I believe that they didn't walk straight but instead moved round and round. Moreover, there must have been thick forests and a large expanse of desert in those days.

And also, if you are familiar with the Bible, you will also know that they were very disobedient and stubborn, so God punished them and made the journey difficult. Even almighty Moses didn't get to enter into the promised land because of his disobedience.



And to add to that, other nations kept attacking them left and right on their way. (the Philistines were their oldest enemies) And concering the land of Caanan and eventually turning it to the land of lsrael wasn't an easy task too. It must have taken them a lot of time to strategize.

People take Bible stories at face value.

The stories mean something far deeper than literally.
Taking it literally, the earth is under 7000 years old. But we know that cannot be true. Unless you're saying that God did not create everything.


Yet carbon dating has shown both plant & animal/human remains way older than 7000 years. Dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years. So are some mammoths for tens of thousands of years.

What is ur point please?

My point is simple. The Bible is not literally what it seems in many ways. It might not please Zombie Christians to hear but that is how it is.

In the same way there wasn't any good Samaritan that helped & a wicked Jewish religious priest that left a beaten the robbery victim to his fate. It was used to illustrate common behaviours in our daily life. Not literally.

Many things are just illustrations that require us to decode with our God-given common sense.

Or how do you explain the remains of skeletons dated as millions of years old if the world is under 7000 years old? shocked shocked

That the scientists are not accurate?
