JOURNEY
A “sabbath-day’s journey,” among the Jews, seems to have been reckoned at about seven furlongs, or nearly one mile, Mat 24:20 Mal 1:12 . An ordinary day’s journey is about twenty miles. Persons starting on a journey in the East frequently make their first stage a short one, that they may the more easily send back for any forgotten articles or necessary supplies. This may perhaps apply to the “day’s journey” of the parents of Jesus, mentioned in Luk 2:44 .For the journeyings of the Israelites, see EXODUS, and WANDERINGS.

Journey
(prop. , to pull up the stakes of one’s tent preparatory to removal; ) properly refers to travel by land. SEE TRAVELING. In the East, a day’s journey is reckoned about sixteen or twenty miles. To this distance around the Hebrew camp were the quails scattered for food for the people (Num 11:31). Shaw computes the eleven days’ journey from Sinai to Kadesh Barnea (Deu 1:2) to be about one hundred and ten miles. The first day’s journey (Luk 2:44) is usually a short one (Hackett’s Illustra. of Script. p. 12). SEE DAYS JOURNEY.
A Sabbath day’s journey (Act 1:12) is reckoned by the Hebrews at about seven furlongs, or a little less than one mile, and it is said that if any Jew traveled above this from the city on the Sabbath he was beaten. SEE SABBATH-DAYS JOURNEY.
