When the ancestors of Israel left Egypt, there were 600,000 young people. It was only a few months' journey from Egypt to Canaan because they brought too many livestock and tools. After inquiring about the Canaanites, the Israelites were afraid of their height and toughness and blamed God.
God swore that that generation could not enter the beautiful land of Canaan, so they drifted wildly for forty years. Forty years later, all those who complained about God died, and their descendants entered the land of Canaan under the leadership of Joshua.

The State of Israel, referred to as Israel for short, is located in West Asia. With a total population of 9.26 million, including 6.77 million Jews, it is the only country in the world with Jews as its main ethnic group.
The distant ancestor of the Jews is a branch of the ancient Semitic people, located on the southeast coast of the Mediterranean Sea, bordering Lebanon in the north, Syria and Jordan in the east, and the Red Sea and Egypt in the southwest. It originated in the Mesopotamian plain about 4,000 years ago, and later moved to the east of the Nile Delta in Egypt to avoid natural disasters, hence the name "Hebrews" (meaning "people crossing the river").
