I do have a question. The time to go from Egypt to Canaan. There is a big gap from 4 days to up to 70. How far was it and why allow for that large difference?

I got the distance and estimates from the internet. The distance was roughly 124 miles, and the large gap was based on God choosing to have them stay in certain places for extended periods of time. They moved as the cloud moved.

I wonder how many times we reason things out and say within ourselves or out loud that this thing is not possible or that thing is impossible? It is because of that kind of thinking, men deny the virgin birth and Noah's flood. In man's way of looking at things, anything that defies the known laws of nature is impossible, but not with God. He is the one that created all that exists out of nothing. There are literally no limits on what God can do.

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. — Galatians 4:25Jethro was priest of Midian, which is in Arabia. Moses didn’t leave the Arab peninsula when he lived as a bedouine shepherd. There’s no mention anywhere of him living among the hostile Canaanites before he returned to Egypt. We know where Red Sea crossing happened because they found the evidence. If you leave that spot and walk for four days as Moses describes, you’ll see everything he mentioned, and then you’ll come to a mountain in Arabia which the locals call “the mountain of Moses.” The Saudi government keeps it fenced off and won’t let historians up there to look around. The apostles never said Sinai was in Israel, and the only significance they gave to Sinai was a place of bondage.
