Question Asked By Website Visitor: Is it Hebrew custom to say traveled a 3-day distance always means 3 continuous days? If so, where else in the Bible is this confirmed?

Answer: Whether something is "Hebrew custom" or not, here's what we see in Scriptures: Exodus 3:18 implies a consecutive 3 days. Exodus 5:3 implies a consecutive 3 days. Exodus 8:27 implies a consecutive 3 days. Numbers 10:33 is certainly a consecutive 3 days because it says they were "to seek out a resting place for them" which means no resting place until they found that resting place. Numbers 33:8 implies a consecutive 3 days. The mentioning of "to seek out a resting place for them" in Numbers 33:3 is compelling evidence to conclude it was 3 consecutive days. To suggest something here is related to a "Hebrew custom" vs. "not related to a Hebrew custom" is more of a cultural or historical or opinionated question rather than Scriptural question. I can only comment on what I see in Scriptures, and these are examples where it is implied travel is consecutive without a break.
