The Holy Land Through the Eyes of Two Early Pilgrims

The Bordeaux Pilgrim (333 C.E.) describes Jerusalem

Twenty-eight miles from thence on the left hand, as one goes towards Jerusalem, is a village named Bethar. A mile from thence is the place where Jacob slept when he was journeying into Mesopotamia, and here is the almond tree; here Jacob saw the vision and the angel wrestled with him. Here was King Jeroboam when the prophet was sent to him, that he should turn himself to the Most High God; and the prophet was ordered not to eat bread with the false prophet whom the king had with him, and because he was beguiled by the false prophet and ate bread with him, as he was returning a lion fell upon the prophet on the way and slew him.

Thence to Jerusalem … xii [miles].

Total from Caesarea Palaestina to Jerusalem 116 miles, 4 halts, 4 changes.
