When Israel came out of Egypt, the Israelites were very ill, suffering from the effects of idolatry in which they had been steeped. So God took them out of there, and kept changing the weather conditions for them from place to place, to see whether they would repent and be healed. But wherever they camped, there was always some affliction or new transgression of which they could not be rid. So they kept journeying in the desert for forty years from location to location, until they recovered from their evil ways and were completely healed. Now that they had neared the land of Israel and become a fully-cured, holy congregation, God said to Moses, It is My will that you will list all of the places of your wanderings where you angered Me, and also the sites where, instead of repaying evil for evil, I performed miracles for the Israelites despite the fact that they were still sinners.
Travel is difficult and complaining about it is eternal.
Accommodations are not equal to the pictures and AAA descriptions. The sites are crowded and more time is spent in lines than actually experiencing the place for its beauty, history or entertainment. Getting from place to place is a hard task and often the tendency of some people not to ask for directions can result in a divisive atmosphere rather than the idealized happiness associated with a family trip. Everyone has their own idea of what to do, how to do it and how their way is best. The challenge that is faced by a family or a people is how to remain united and committed to the goal of their journey while confronted by dissent, disappointment and division.
