Bible | Sabbath day's journey supposed to be a distance of 2,000 cubits, or less than half-a-mile, the distance to which, according to Jewish tradition, it was allowable to travel on the Sabbath day without violating the law (Acts 1:12; comp. Ex. 16:29; Num. 35:5; Josh. 3:4). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Literature | Sabbath Day's Journey (Exodus xvi. 29; Acts i. 12), with the Jews was not to exceed the distance between the ark and the extreme end of the camp. This was 2,000 cubits, somewhat short of an English mile. (Exodus xvi. 29: Acts i. 12.) "Up to the hill by Hebron, seat of giants old, No journey of a Sabbath Day, and loaded so." Milton: Samson Agonistes. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
