'Nearby' in the Bible

Break camp, get going, and proceed to the hill country of the Amorites and all the nearby places in the Arabah desert, the highlands, the foothills, the Negev, the coastal plains, all of the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon as far as the great river, the Euphrates.

Thus you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not of the cities of these nations nearby.

your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the nearby cities.
