Journey (Noun and Verb), Journeyings:

"a way, path, road," used of a traveler's way, a "journey," is rendered "journey" in Mat 10:13; Mar 6:8; Luk 2:44, "a day's journey" (probably to Beeroth, six miles north of Jerusalem); Luk 9:3; 11:6; Act 1:12, "a Sabbath day's journey," i.e., the journey which a Jew was allowed to take on the Sabbath, viz., about 2,000 yards or cubits (estimates vary). The regulation was not a Mosaic enactment, but a rabbinical tradition, based upon an exposition of Exd 16:29, and a comparison of the width of the suburb of a Levitical city as enjoined in Num 35:4, 5, and the distance between the ark and the people at the crossing of the Jordan, Jos 3:4. In regard to Act 1:12, there is no discrepancy between this and Luk 24:50, where the RV rightly translates by "over against Bethany," which does not fix the exact spot of the Ascension.
See HIGHWAY, WAY.
