54. How Many of the Children of Israel Entered Canaan?<\/p>\n
The number of adults over twenty years of age who left Egypt is stated in Exo_12:37, a* about six hundred thousand. Allowing the normal proportion of children to such a host we may infer that the total number was probably between one and two millions. Three or four months later, when they were at Sinai, a more careful count was made and the number of adults is then given (Exo_38:26) at 603,550. Two years later another census was taken and the number is stated (Num_2:32) at exactly the same figure, but as the Levites were not included and there were 22,000 of them, we may assume that by that time the adults numbered about 625,000. Thirty-eight years later, immediately after a pestilence had swept away large numbers and just before entering Canaan, another census was taken. The figures are given (Num_26:21) at 601,730, which shows a slight decrease. Of these only two'97Joshua and Caleb'97were left of the adults who crossed the Red Sea. With these exceptions, the entire adult generation died in the wilderness.<\/p>\n
