'Miles' in the Bible

On that same day two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village seven or eight miles from Jerusalem,

When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat.

Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less than two miles;

And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and out of it came blood reaching the horses' bridles for a distance of 200 miles.

The plan of the city is a square, the length being the same as the breadth; and he measured the city furlong by furlong, with his measuring rod--it is twelve hundred miles long, and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
