Ezra 7:8-9 - Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of the king. He had begun his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, for the gracious hand of his God was on him.
I wonder if Ezra considered the 4-month trip from Babylon to Jerusalem better than average time-wise. I wonder how long it took those who didn't make good time.
For perspective, consider that today 3 months is a major portion of the business year. It's a quarter. Ever heard of quarterly reports and all that they entail? Ezra and company would have missed 2 quarter-ends! Horrors!
