 I don't know what happened to the Bellville Family Blog. It is gone. 


I wrote a paper recently called Book of Mormon Geography Hard Facts. In it I mentioned the connection with a days journey and the incident when Jesus was left at the temple. I feel confident that as time goes by other connections with a days journey of 34 miles will be discovered. I found one again today. In the Dead Sea Scrolls, a reference is made that one had to be beyond three days journey from the temple in Jerusalem before being permitted to offer sacrifice outside the temple. The Israelite nation split after King Solomon into the Northern Kingdom of Israel, the 10 tribes, and the Southern Kingdom of Judah. The temple was located in Jerusalem. Worshippers in the Northern Kingdom had to go to Jerusalem in the Southern Kingdom to offer sacrifice. The northern border of the Northern Kingdom was Dan which was three days journey away from Jerusalem. So, the three days journey requirement extended to include all of both kingdoms.
