Club Adventist




Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

HEY DON_DON07

that is a good question an I am not for sure
but maybe it means how far can a person travel
to and from Jerusalem before sun set????

or maybe it was going to visit a friend or
relative in a close near by town from Jerusalem.

I HOPE this will help???? ALSO maybe
some one else knows for sure????

Hey dgrimm60. Yes it probably is that simple, I don't want to read to much into it but I do want to understand the language. Hum... Maybe getting out some of the older maps may help.
