>>Did everyone die when they reached 60?  
Or did some  die younger and some older, with the net-net being that all who 
were 20-60 at  the yetzias mitzraim were dead by the time they were ready to 
enter E"Y.
If  the former, only those who had turned (would be turning?) 60 during that 
year  should have dug graves;  everyone else would have known they still had  
time.<<

Probably a lot of people didn't keep such good  records and they didn't 
exactly have birth certificates so they may not have  known exactly how old they 
were.  I'm guessing they would dig  graves when they got close to age sixty and 
thought it /might/ be this  year.  If you think that it's strange people 
wouldn't know how old they  were, when we lived in S. Africa we found that a lot of 
tribal people didn't  know how old they were.
