Quote:
the adults of the first generation had children who were born in Egypt and in the wilderness. Both groups combined are the second generation because they were the children of the first generation


Dougg --

1) if they were alive human beings and

2) they left Egypt

they were in "that generation."

Torah is speaking of those who left Egypt -- it doesn't define them by age!

Read it again:

Quote:
Numbers 32:11 'None of the men over 20 years old who left Egypt will see the land that I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, since they did not follow Me wholeheartedly


So men under the age of 20 who left Egypt along with the women and children who left Egypt DID cross into Israel.
And everything that Sarah tells you, listen to her voice. Genesis, 21:12
