I get this feeling there was more to this post. You thought something, and didn't put that part down, just the conclusion of your thought. So, huh?
I'm disabled, so I can't move as far or as swiftly as most folks. (I've had people with walkers pass me. lol) I can still get more than 60 feet per day.

this thread needs more math.

sin + sin = more sin
sin + the blood of Jesus = no sin
[HR][/HR]
∮man·∂(sin) = death
∮man·∂(†) = life
[HR][/HR]
∀x, x ∈ Christ → x ∈ life
⇒ life ⊆ Christ
∀y, y ∈ life → y ∈ Christ
⇒ Christ ⊆ life
∴ Christ = life
[HR][/HR]
y'all please double-check my calculations?

As far as sacrifice was concerned the busiest day of the year was Passover. Multi-thousands of lambs were sacrificed all in one day. On these special festival days all of the priests served in the temple at the same time. Normally there were only 24 on duty at a time and they served for 8 days twice a year. There were 24 courses of Priests of 24 each. This was a minimum of 576 plus reserves. The Passover lamb was slaughtered at the top of the stairs of the temple at the Nicanor gate. The worshiper himself had to cut the throat of the lamb and the blood caught in a basin. This was then splashed on the side of the alter. The priests operated “bucket brigade” style and stayed with it until the job was done. This happened on Nissan 13th at the end of the day.
The Passover was always celebrated on the 14th of Nissan. The day began at about 7:00 PM. Also the standard Tamid evening sacrifice was held normally at 2:30PM each day. (There were two a day morning and evening) But on Passover the evening sacrifice was moved back from 2:30PM to 1:30 PM to allow extra time. There was a minimum of 10 people required for Passover minimum. So divide the number of people by at leat ten or more to determine how many lambs were slaughtered. So if you had a Passover population of 600,000 people in the city there would need to be no more than 60,000 lambs slaughtered. But it was probably way less than this as this is a theoretical maximum number.

I think it was because they liked to walk. God wanted them to stay healthy and in tip top shape so He had them walk long distances to the temple to offer Sacrifices. They probably didn't consider it a sacrifice, even for the aged or the youngsters cause they were doing what God told them to do and, therefore, were happy to do it. And when they obeyed the Lord, God gave them the extra strength they needed.
[SUP]15[/SUP] Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. Amen?

They wandered around in the desert for 40 years even though it would have taken them less than a year to go all the way there from Egypt, because they disobeyed God and murmured at His ability to fight for them and they were afraid of the giants who inhabited the land that God told them to go in and conquer. What's the moral of the Story? When you obey the Lord He gives you the strength to carry on and He fights for you even if the monsters you are fighting against are bigger and stronger than you. (Whether they be physical monsters or spiritual monsters)
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
[SUP]30[/SUP] Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
[SUP]31[/SUP] But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

The extra 39 years of foot travel, being a punishment for not believing the 2/10 spy report (Joshua and Caleb saying go for it), was actually more of a circular trip around and around Mt. Sinai. Each month someone in the crowd surely called out "Haven't we been here before?".
All the adults that believed the 8 negative spies died in that wilderness, including Moses, except Joshua and Caleb, and all the youth that grew up in those 40 years, and their children.
All those non-Israelites were required by the law to satisfy the law, or be tossed out on their own.
In those days if a person could buy a slave pretty cheap. So if you were a slave and could afford it, you could buy a slave to do your slave work for you. Once that slave got hold of some wealth, he could buy a slave to do his slave work for your slave task, so that if effect there would be slaves serving slaves, setting up a pecking order of high slave down to low slave, so to speak. The system kept everybody employed.
With enough slaves having hope you their owner is being led by God to a better life, it's conceivable to me that having the cloud of God's presence each day to moderate the heat of the sun, and the column of fire by night, one could move slowly with flocks and herds as they feed on weeds along the way. The "wilderness" was not a barren desert then, but like many wildernesses in the world, difficult places to find comfort. Leviticus explains that they moved along under those conditions, then stopped to camp whenever the cloud of God came into the Tabernacle. When the cloud lifted, they moved along.
Being not feeble, shoes not wearing out, plus....Psalm 105:37-42 (KJV)
[SUP]37 [/SUP] He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
[SUP]38 [/SUP] Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
[SUP]39 [/SUP] He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
[SUP]40 [/SUP] The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
[SUP]41 [/SUP] He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
[SUP]42 [/SUP] For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
