Help, I have a Question for Bible Scholars?
In Deuteronomy 11:2-7 (especially 11:7, Moses tells the Israelites before they are to enter The Promised Land, that it was "with your own eyes, ..."...they saw all of the miracles that God did since getting them out of Egypt. But in Numbers 14: 22-23 & Numbers 14:31-33 God tells them that not one of the original Israelites would cross see the Promised Land. (Except Caleb & Joshua). My Bible commentary claims that they were all a different group or generation of people (Numbers 26, The 2nd census). Can someone with knowledge of the Old Testament please help to clarify this discrepancy for me? Thanks
Since the story is a myth, your question is pointless.
Given the biblical account, there would have been between 2 and 3 million people and their animals living in the Sinai for forty years.
That many people would have left significant archaeological remains if they had lived there. Why have none been found despite extensive searching?
Archaeological remains of much smaller populations, even small families, have been found in various other locations. Why not in the Sinai?
