'Distance' in the Bible

They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem)."
