I'm guessing that the children of Israel were following him just to see when he would drop.

Moses had led the children of Israel through this desert.

Maybe that is why we are always referred to as the children of Israel.

Joseph made the children of Israel swear to carry his bones to that land.

Now you remember the account of the children of Israel in the wilderness?

The trouble is, just like the children of Israel, we spend our time wandering around in the wilderness.

And for forty years the children of Israel did wander in the desert.

The children of Israel were forty years in the wilderness, and so it may be with us.
