An 11-Day Trip, a 40-Year Delay
Commentators emphasize that this verse is not just a geographical note. By stating the journey from Mt. Horeb to the Promised Land's border was only eleven days, Moses immediately highlights a painful truth: Israel's 40 years in the wilderness were a direct consequence of their own sin and unbelief. It serves as a powerful reminder of how disobedience can tragically delay God's blessings.
