I was curious about this myself, but not having access to a map I turned to the Book of Ezra, chapter 7. (Old Testament) which in part is the story of Ezra and some other Jews returning to Jerusalem from the Persian Empire area after the Babylonian Captivity. The journey took 4 months. Since Bethlehem is only 4-6 miles from Jerusalem the journey from Persia to Bethlehem still remains a 4 month journey. The distance is approximately 1000 miles.
