Hi After Israel had sinned by refusing to go forward in order to possess the promised land God determined that none of them should enter the promised land apart from Caleb and Joshua. Thus they wandered around the wilderness region near the mountains of Edom until all that generation had died out. We are not told at what age they were seen as being disobedient (the children had no choice in the matter). It may have been the age for battle (20), or it may have been the age of maturity (12-13). In view of the crime possibly it was the former. That would mean that the oldest who entered the promised land apart from Joshua and Caleb was fifty eight. The remainder would cover all ages below that. Life in the wilderness was hard on the old. Best wishes Jonp |
