From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Wandering       of the Israelites in the wilderness in consequence of their       rebellious fears to enter the Promised Land (Num. 14:26-35).       They wandered for forty years before they were permitted to       cross the Jordan (Josh. 4:19; 5:6).                The record of these wanderings is given in Num. 33:1-49. Many       of the stations at which they camped cannot now be identified.                Questions of an intricate nature have been discussed regarding       the "Wanderings," but it is enough for us to take the sacred       narrative as it stands, and rest assured that "He led them forth       by the right way" (Ps. 107:1-7, 33-35). (See {WILDERNESS}.)
