Numbers 32:11 “Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me.”

Deuteronomy 1:39 “Moreover your little ones and your children, who you say will be victims, who today have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.”

Was 20 the age from which God would consider a man accountable specific to the event (Promised land), to the people (Israel), to the time (3500 BC) or universal?

It would be interesting to know what rabbis (both schools) teach about the time of accountability.

Age of accountability: 12 or 20

At five, a child begins [the study of] Torah
At ten, Mishnah
At thirteen, [he is responsible for performance of] the mitzvot
At fifteen, he begins [the study of] Talmud
At eighteen, [he is ready for] marriage
At twenty, he begins the pursuit [of a livelihood][1]
At thirty, [a person is at the fullness of] strength
At forty, [he reaches the time of] understanding
At fifty, [he can offer] counsel
At sixty, he enters his senior years
At seventy, he attains a ripe old age
At eighty, [his survival indicates] strength
At ninety, he becomes stooped over [in anticipation of the grave]
At one hundred, it is as if he were dead, passed away, and withdrawn from the world.
