"A Sabbath day's journey" isn't a phrase used by Jews, it's Christian in origin. It's related to the prohibitions against work that apply to Shabbat which means that religiously observant Jews cannot travel by any means other than walking to Shabbat. This limits a journey to the distance a person can walk.
