Home > Parasang


The parasang is an ancient measure of distance corresponding to approximately 3 miles, or the distance that can be traversed on foot in an hour.

The etymology of the word is from the Hebrew word parsa, meaning hoof.

The usage is a primary measure of distance throughout Talmudic literature, where it is taken as corresponding to four roman miles.
