Journey

Easton’s Bible Dictionary

  1. A day's journey in the East is from 2 Chronicles 16 to 20 miles (Numbers 11:31).
  2. A Sabbath-day's journey is Numbers 2,000 paces or yards from the city walls (Acts 1:12). According to Jewish tradition, it was the distance one might travel without violating the law of Exodus 16:29. (See SABBATH.)
