How long after the tabernacle was set up did Israel reach the border of the promised land?

Seven weeks after the tabernacle was raised up the first time, the cloud lifted and directed the children of Israel all the way to the border of the promised land, the land of milk and honey. This period is identified as seven weeks.

Les teaches that seven weeks after the tabernacle was raised up the first time, the cloud lifted and directed the children of Israel all the way up to the border of the promised land, the land of milk and honey. He then skips ahead to Numbers chapter 14, noting that much had taken place in the meantime, including the episode of leprosy with Miriam, God's healing of her, and the episode of the quails when Israel complained because they did not have the flesh pots of Egypt.
