It states (14:34), ,הארץ את תרתם אשר הימים במספר לשנה יום לשנה יום יום ארבעים, “For the number of days you spied the land — forty days — a day for a year, a day for a year.” The miraglim scouted Eretz Yisrael for forty days. Therefore, the nation was punished by remaining in the desert for forty years. Each day was equal to a year in the desert.
