Bible Question: How far was it from Canaan to Egypt |
Bible Answer: By the Via Maris (the way of the Philistines) it was about 150 miles from Gaza to the Egyptian border towns (Aharoni). It depends of course where you start from and where you see the borders. The Israelites took a much longer route in order to avoid the Egyptian army and forts, but they still accomplished it in just over a year (excluding the nine months at Sinai). Best wishes |
