Thanks Graybeard my bad. Yea I read the passages you posted later on last night. I knew that the generation of age coming out of The Exodus was not allowed to enter The Promised Land but I forgot about the two exceptions one being Joshua. It's been a while since I've read about The Exodus entirely.

I did notice something interesting. Looking at their crossing of The Red Sea I think they implied that they went with a more modern venue now believed to have been the crossing site. Some scholars say they crossed in the upper Red Sea in shallow areas. As well the traditional Mt Sinai is in Egypt and was even in The Exodus. So that never made any sense to me until I learned of a more suspected accurate route.

The real Mt Sinai likely from evidence of several sources is located in modern Saudi Arabia and the likely crossing was at the Strait of Tiran. I've looked at satellite pictures and the straits are so narrow there only one ship can pass in or out at a time.

Is that also known as The Sea Of Reeds, that I've heard about?

May be a helpful map:
