Best Answer

After the children of Israel came out of Egypt God led them to the 'promised land'.

Moses sent spies into the promised land to find out about the inhabitants. Ten of the twelve spies said the land could not be conquered and the Israelites were afraid and didn't want to go into the land.

Because of their fear and unbelief God said they would wander in the wilderness for forty years until another generation had grown up.

After forty years the new generation reached the borders of the promised land again and crossed into the promised land.

How long did it take Moses to get to promised land?

God did not allow Moses to reach the promised land. Rather, he died at Mt. Nebo (as God has said in Numbers 20:12, "And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed Me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation, into the land which I have given them." KJV) where he was able to see a panoramic view of the promised land. Moses led the Children of Israel during their nation-building in the wilderness, from the exodus from Egypt to the threshold of entering the Promised Land, a period of 40 years, but never in his life set foot in the land.
