Actually,  Vicki & Jen, the journey from Egypt all the way to Canaan 
could have taken around 40 days, but you have to remember that God 
Himself put the brakes on a bit by taking six weeks to give Moses the 
law on Mount Sinai and then again, it took over a year to build the 
Tabernacle, but the point is still a good one that, instead of taking 
less than 2 years, the journey took 40 because of stubbornness and unbelief.
