I take it you choose to ignore what the Bible states about a Sabbath days journey and the fact that the law proscribed taking a journey on the Sabbath. Allowance was made to go to the temple. The Pharisees tried to create a rule about the length and kept modifying it with added information. Their fiddling with the length doesn't change the law about taking a journey on the Sabbath. Local to temple only allowed. (a Sabbath Day's Journey) Food preparation and layout done on Friday before sunset.
So can you quote where the length of a "Sabbath day's jourey" is?
No you can not, you know how I know that? Because there is no such thing in the word, nowere does it tell a certian distance that one can travel on the Sabbath.
It is something the pharisees made up, they even made "loopholes" on how to extend the distance 200%. As you seem to know, im surprised you do not also know the verses they twisted to come up with this...
I study diligently and know the word vvery well, and with that said I am still learning.
So I ask you to show me in Scripture where the length of a Sabbath days journey is?
Some notes from extra Biblical resources:
Is a “Sabbath Day’s Journey” Biblical?
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
Sabbath Day’s Journey - jur'-ni (sabbatou hodos): Used only in Ac 1:12, where it designates the distance from Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives, to which Jesus led His disciples on the day of His ascension.
The expression comes from rabbinical usage to indicate the distance a Jew might travel on the Sabbath without transgressing the Law, the command against working on that day being interpreted as including travel (see Ex 16:27-30). The limit set by the rabbis to the Sabbath day's journey was 2,000 cubits from one's house or domicile, which was derived from the statement found in Jos 3:4 that this was the distance between the ark and the people on their march, this being assumed to be the distance between the tents of the people and the tabernacle during the sojourn in the wilderness. Hence, it must have been allowable to travel thus far to attend the worship of the tabernacle. We do not know when this assumption in regard to the Sabbath day's journey was made, but it seems to have been in force in the time of Christ. The distance of the Mount of Olives from Jerusalem is stated in Josephus (Ant., XX, viii, 6) to have been five stadia or furlongs and in BJ, V, ii, 3, six stadia, the discrepancy being explained by supposing a different point of departure. This would make the distance of the Sabbath day's journey from 1,000 to 1,200 yards, the first agreeing very closely with the 2,000 cubits. The rabbis, however, invented a way of increasing this distance without technically infringing the Law, by depositing some food at the 2,000-cubit limit, before the Sabbath, and declaring that spot a temporary domicile. They might then proceed 2,000 cubits from this point without transgressing the Law.
And in some cases even this intricacy of preparation was unnecessary. If, for instance, the approach of the Sabbath found one on his journey, the traveler might select some tree or some stone wall at a distance of 2,000 paces and mentally declare this to be his residence for the Sabbath, in which case he was permitted to go the 2,000 paces to the selected tree or wall and also 2,000 paces beyond, but in such a case he must do the work thoroughly and must say: "Let my Sabbath residence be at the trunk of that tree," for if he merely said: "Let my Sabbath residence be under that tree," this would not be sufficient, because the, expression would be too general and indefinite (Tractate `Erubhin 4:7).
Other schemes for extending the distance have been devised, such as regarding the quarter of the town in which one dwells, or the whole town itself, as the domicile, thus allowing one to proceed from any part of the town to a point 2,000 cubits beyond its utmost limits. This was most probably the case with walled towns, at least, and boundary stones have been found in the vicinity of Gaza with inscriptions supposed to mark these limits. The 2,000-cubit limits around the Levitical cities (Nu 35:5) may have suggested the limit of the Sabbath day's journey also. The term came to be used as a designation of distance which must have been more or less definite.

The exact value of a "Sabbath day's walk" is 2,000 cubits, which works out to about 5/8 of a mile, or one kilometer. Commentator Craig S. Keener explains the logic and biblical basis:
The figures were natural extrapolations from Exod 16:29 (one must not leave one's place on the Sabbath) and Num 35:5 (identifying one's place as 2,000 cubits square) [Acts, v1, p735]
Numbers 35:5 in particular reads:
And you shall measure, outside the city, on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the middle. This shall belong to them as pastureland for their cities. [ESV]
Keener confirms that the 2,000 cubit figure matches what we know of the geography of Jerusalem. He also argues that Luke knew this was the value used by the Pharisees, as recorded in later rabbinic tradition, such as the Mishnah:
On that day, Rabbi Akiva expounded [the verse], (Numbers 35:5) "You shall measure outside the city on the eastern outskirts, two thousand cubits..." (Numbers 35:5) [...] , and another verse says (Numbers 35:4) "... from the wall of the city and outward, 1000 cubits around." [...] One-thousand cubits is for the open land, and two thousand cubits is the Sabbath border [the distance one can travel from the city on Sabbath]." (Mishnah Sotah, 5:3)
Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible - Sabbath Day’s Journey.
Regulation derived from Jewish literature limiting travel on the sabbath. The prohibition against work on the sabbath was interpreted to exclude inordinate travel (Ex 16:27–30): “Everyone is to stay where he is on the seventh day; no one is to go out” (v 29). One was permitted no more than 2000 cubits (1000–1200 yds). This was determined by the distance between the ark and the people following it (Jos 3:4) or from the pasture lands to the Levitical cities (Nm 35:4, 5). Thus, in the former instance, one would not go further to worship or in the latter to pasture an animal. The only biblical reference describes the distance from the Mt of Olives to Jerusalem as “a Sabbath day’s walk” (Acts 1:12).
The rabbis invented ways to at least double the distance. One could establish his home 2000 cubits away by carrying food sufficient for two meals: one to be eaten and the other to be buried—thereby to mark a temporary domicile. He might alternately fix his gaze upon a location 2000 cubits away as his legal home for the sabbath. He could, separately or in conjunction with a preceding modification, view the entire town as his home and so figure the sabbath day’s journey from the village limits.
