It should be considered that the numbered men amounted to 600,000. The total number of days spent in the wilderness would be 14,508 days (381/2 years): therefore, on average, 42-43 men would die each day (3-4 men per hour).
The next 381/2 years in the wilderness would be a constant funeral dirge: Israel’s presence there would be most distinctive via the cry of her widows and orphans!
