How many entered into the Promised Land?

Answer 1

It is not known.

====

The Bible never gives an exact amount of Israelites that entered the Promised Land. The Israelites wandered 40 years to reach the Promised Land, out of all of the Israelites that left Egypt, only Joshua and Caleb were allowed to enter the Promised Land. The rest were to wander and not allowed to enter. The only other Israelites that were allowed to enter the Promised land were all of the Israelites that were under the age of 20 years old.

Answer 2

Around two million, if not more. The men aged 20 to 60 were numbered 600,000 (Numbers ch. 26); and to this number must be added an equal number of women, plus elders, children, and the 23,000 Levites, who also all had wives, children and elders.

Answer 3

According to the Bible, 600,000 fighting men escaped from Egypt. This excluded the priestly tribe of Levi, who were not considered fighting men. Scholars have estimated that, including women and children, there would have to have been at least two and a half million people who left Egypt to wander in the desert. This compares to a total estimated population of three and a half million people in Egypt before the Exodus.

AnswerWhen the Jews entered Palastine (the promised land), to take the land, it is estimated that in total they numbered as many as 2 million. This is done by taking the totals of the men of war from all the tribes of Israel listed in scripture when they were numbered, which were all males 20 and upward. Figure as many women, at least, plus a kid or so, and the number mushrooms up to 2 million even by conservative estimates. That's a pretty big invading force in those days! This was about 1451 b.c.

Answer 4

It isn't known. The census taken toward the end of the wilderness period mentioned 601,730 as being over 20 years old and able-bodied for war, but it does not specify how many of this particular group had been present in Egypt.

The children of Israel wandered for 40 years. What is in the word of God says that no-one over the age of 20 would enter the Promised Land, save Joshua and

Caleb: Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

(Numbers 14:29-30)

With this being said - if they were in the wilderness for 40 years, then those that murmured against God had to be over 20 years old, according to the time of their murmurings as found in Numbers. Those under 20 were not held accountable for this murmuring, unless we want to read into that there might have been some that were also refusing to obey and listen to God that would not enter the Promised Land.

It is not revealed exactly how old that Joshua and Caleb were when they entered the Promised Land, but it is supposed that Joshua might have been about 60, therefore making him one of only 2 possible people that entered the Promised Land that left Egypt.

Only two made it to the promised land Joshua,and Caleb. They were the two originals that came out of Egypt. The rest spent their time wandering the desert
