Often the Bible reveals historical events without being specific. Joshua 2;10, “For we have heard how the LORD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites across the Jordan, whom you devoted to destruction.” In this verse we learn that after 40 years the people in the surrounding areas remember when the mixed multitude left Egypt. Then next verse tells us that everyone was very distraught because they’re worried that the Creator would kill them all and give everything to the children of Abraham. The defeat of Egypt was such a huge event that 40 years later, people were still talking about it. There is more that we can extrapolate from these passages if we are willing to slow down and allow the Bible to teach us.
