or (prop. נָסִע, to pull up the stakes of one's tent preparatory to removal; πορεύομαι ) 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 (Numbers 11:31). Shaw computes the eleven days' journey from Sinai to Kadesh Barnea (Deuteronomy 1:2) to be about one hundred and ten miles. The first day's journey (Luke 2:44) is usually a short one (Hackett's Illustra. of Script. p. 12). (See DAYS JOURNEY).
A Sabbath day's journey (Acts 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).
