A New Generation's Journey
Commentators emphasize that this verse marks the end of a 38-year period of wandering, a time largely passed over in the biblical narrative. The 'whole congregation' mentioned is a new generation, as the one that came out of Egypt had perished in the wilderness as prophesied. This is the beginning of the final push into the Promised Land.
