The fortieth year. This included the year in which they left Egypt; the second year, in which they left Sinai after a stay of 11 months; plus 38 years of wandering, until after the death of Aaron (Ex. 19:1; Num. 10:11; Deut. 2:14).

The eleventh month. Two months and nine days before crossing the Jordan (cf. Joshua 4:19). The book of Deuteronomy is a record of what occurred during this interval of time.
