Some of the children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim came up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes. And Ezra came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. On the first day of the first month he began his journey from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him. For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.

How far from Persia to Bethlehem?
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.
