#REDIRECT [[Stations of the Exodus]] |
|||
The '''40 years of wandering in the wilderness''', according to the [[book of Exodus]], was a punishment inflicted on the ancient [[Israelites]] by God for their disobedience in refusing the command to conquer and occupy Canaan, after [[The Exodus|their Exodus]] from Egypt/[[Mizraim]]. |
|||
== Narrative Account == |
|||
Told in the second half of the Book of Exodus, and the remaining books of Leviticus and Numbers. The narrative is recounted again by Moses in his final address, which takes place over a period of about 6 months at the end of the 40 years, and constitutes the book of Deuteronomy. |

== Opinions on Historicity == |
|||
{{Expand section|date=April 2022}} |
|||
Traditional opinion of Jews and Christians is that the story is both history and prophecy, divinely inspired, and therefore accurate in matters of history as also in matters of theology and law. Although they accept its historicity and earlier authority, Christians however generally hold that the Mosaic covenant [[Abrogation of Old Covenant laws|was abrogated]] as law, and the Jewish people [[Supersessionism|superceded]] and replaced. |
|||
==== Modern scholars ==== |
|||
Many modern academics subscribe to mainstream [[archaeology]], which holds that it is a [[founding myth]] that was invented at a later date.<ref name="Grabbe2017">{{cite book|first=Lester L.|last=Grabbe|title=Ancient Israel: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It?: Revised Edition|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4lzyDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA36|date=23 February 2017|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing|isbn=978-0-567-67044-1|page=36|quote=The impression one has now is that the debate has settled down. Although they do not seem to admit it, the minimalists have triumphed in many ways. That is, most scholars reject the historicity of the 'patriarchal period', see the settlement as mostly made up of indigenous inhabitants of Canaan and are cautious about the early monarchy. The exodus is rejected or assumed to be based on an event much different from the biblical account. On the other hand, there is not the widespread rejection of the biblical text as a historical source that one finds among the main minimalists. There are few, if any, maximalists (defined as those who accept the biblical text unless it can be absolutely disproved) in mainstream scholarship, only on the more fundamentalist fringes.}}</ref><ref name="University of Michigan">{{cite news | first=Ze'ev | last=Herzog | title=Deconstructing the walls of Jericho | newspaper=Ha'aretz | url=http://websites.umich.edu/~proflame/neh/arch.htm | access-date=13 January 2022 | date=29 October 1999|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20210811064225/http://websites.umich.edu/~proflame/neh/arch.htm|archivedate=11 August 2021}}</ref><ref name="lib1.library.cornell.edu 2001">{{Cite web|url=http://lib1.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/jerques.htm|title=Deconstructing the walls of Jericho|publisher=[[Ha'aretz]]|date=29 October 1999|accessdate=9 February 2019|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20011110114548/http://lib1.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/jerques.htm|first1=Ze'ev|last1=Herzog|authorlink=Ze'ev Herzog|work=lib1.library.cornell.edu|archivedate=10 November 2001}}</ref><ref name="Skolnik Berenbaum Thomson Gale (Firm) 2007">{{cite book | editor-last1=Skolnik | editor-first1=Fred | editor-last2=Berenbaum | editor-first2=Michael | editor3=Thomson Gale (Firm) | title=Encyclopaedia Judaica | year=2007 | isbn=978-0-02-866097-4 | oclc=123527471 | url=http://catalog.hathitrust.org/api/volumes/oclc/70174939.html | access-date=29 November 2019 | first1=Moshe | last1=Greenberg | first2=S.
