a The vast majority of Israelites who saw Jehovah’s miracles at the Red Sea did not live to see the Promised Land. (Num. 14:22, 23) Jehovah decreed that those 20 years of age and older who were registered would die in the wilderness. (Num. 14:29) However, Joshua, Caleb, and many of the younger generation and of the tribe of Levi did survive to see Jehovah fulfill his promise when Israel crossed the Jordan River and entered Canaan.—Deut. 1:24-40.
