What do we see?!

Very true Barb.

One thing also I saw when reading about the Israelites that left Egypt is this, they "forgot how to fight!"

400 years of slavery produced a "slave like" mentality.
I am sure that 100's of years of hard labour would have made them fit, but would they be ready to battle?

3-4 Million was a figure I heard quoted as to the number that left Egypt, how many were men?
A Few Hundred thousand perhaps?
They could have fought Pharaoh & his armies but they had the "slave mentality" they had
to learn to fight to prepare them for the battles in taking the promised land.

They had the goods--they lacked the confidence!

Reminds me of our battles that come, not to destroy us, but to make us "stronger" & to prepare us for battles down the road.

For what it's worth.
