'Far Country' in the Bible

And not many days later the younger son gathered everything together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country for a long time.
