NASB | Matthew 24:20 "But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 24:20 "Pray that your flight [from persecution and suffering] will not be in winter, or on a Sabbath [when Jewish laws prohibit travel]. |
Subject: flight be not in the winter |
Bible Note: I think that would hamper flight! I think a Sabbath's travel was actually 1000 steps, or approximately 3000 feet. Like you said just over a half mile. Did you know they located and designed their houses so they could walk to synagogue and back and also included an appropriate number of trips to the out house and remain within the 1000 step law?
