Geometry clearly demonstrates that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The most direct path connecting two points on a line at a right angle form a hypotenuse. However, the meandering path of wandering in that desert wilderness for forty years experienced by the Hebrews in the Exodus is a far cry from the direct pathway of a hypotenuse.
