Why didn't God let the Jews pass through the land of the Plishtim (Philistines) after they left Mitzrayim (Egypt)? |
It was a punishment
He didn't want them to enter the land of the Plishtim before Yehoshua (Joshua) was ready to lead them in
He didn't want them to want to return to nearby Mitzrayim if they would become afraid during a war
He knew that the Plishtim would conquer them
