Hebrews' Wilderness Journey Insights

1. The document discusses the journeys of the Hebrews after leaving Egypt, including places like Mount Sinai, Hormah, and Kadesh Barnea. 2. It provides an opinion that the Hebrews spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness to become worthy of God's people and ready to live in the Promised Land, as they had previously complained and questioned God. 3. If the author were an Israelite, they would choose to stay in the desert rather than return to Egypt or invade Canaan, as those options would only lead to more suffering, and God had not allowed invasion of Canaan.

1. Find a map of the Egypt and the Sinai peninsula and trace the journeys of the Hebrews
after they left Egypt.  Mark the following places: Mt. Sinai, Hormah, Kadesh Barnea.

2. What was the reason why the Hebrews had to stay in the wilderness for 40 years?

In my opinion, the Hebrews had to stay in the wilderness for 40 years because they were not
yet ready to represent God, as his people and live in the promised land. Even when they were set
free, there were still some who complained and questioned God’s plan and even thought that
they were better off in Egypt. The wandering of the wilderness was a test to determine if they
were really worthy of being God’s people and staying in the promised land. There were so many
qualities they needed to improve and only though facing so many hardships will they learn to be
better persons and take care of each other and think of the needs of the community rather than
their own.

3. If you were you an Israelite which of the following alternatives will you choose and why?

If I were an Israelite, I would rather stay in the desert than go back to Egypt or invade
Canaan because only more pain and suffering awaits me in Egypt because escaping would be
taken as a great crime with so much to atone for. Invading Canaan would not be possible too
because the Lord wouldn’t have allowed it to happen and if it were possible God would have
punished me for the rest of my life. At least in the desert I can survive because of the basic needs
God provides.
Think further:

1. What experiences in your life so far, can you liken to Israel’s wilderness wandering?

One part of my life that I can relate to the wandering of the Israelites is my time in
Highschool. Going through Highschool I faced many hardships both financially and mentally,
there were times when I struggled in a subject, failed many times and even thought of giving up
but I’m thankful for it because I learned so many things that have helped me today as a college
student.

2. What obstacles stand in the way of your achieving your goals in life? How do you plan to
overcome them? Would you say you are realistic about your situation?

For now, the obstacles I’m facing are the countless assignments, projects and exams in
Nursing School and in order for me to achieve my goal in life which is to become a Doctor, I
need to power through every task and manage my time well.

3. What does it mean to see things from with the eyes of faith? What would this mean in your
particular case?

Seeing things with the eyes of faith in my opinion means that whenever you are faced
with adversity or problems in life it’s a test given by God for you to overcome and when you
face those challenges you always feel that he is beside you guiding your every move. Every
meal, possession and persons in your life are seen as a blessing from God and that everything
you do is for his greater glory.
