What is a Sabbath Days Journey?
        A SABBATH DAY'S JOURNEY
        Acts 1:12, was about seven-eighths of a mile, and the term denoted the distance which Jewish tradition said one might travel without a violation of the law. Ex 16:29. It is supposed that this distance extended first from the tabernacle to the remotest section of the camp, and afterward from the temple to the remotest parts of the holy city. See Measures.
