This time frame is significant as it marks the beginning of the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah.<p><b>Mary got ready</b><br>Mary's preparation indicates her willingness and obedience to God's plan. Her actions reflect a readiness to serve and a commitment to the divine mission she has been given. This readiness can be seen as a model of faith and devotion, paralleling the readiness of other biblical figures who responded to God's call, such as Abraham and Moses.<p><b>and hurried</b><br>Mary's haste suggests urgency and eagerness to share in the joy and confirmation of the angel's message with Elizabeth, her relative. This urgency may also reflect the cultural importance of family support and the sharing of significant news. The haste can be seen as a response to the Holy Spirit's prompting, emphasizing the importance of immediate obedience to God's will.<p><b>to a town in the hill country of Judah</b><br>The hill country of Judah is a region with significant biblical history, including being the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. This area is associated with key figures such as David, who was anointed king in Bethlehem, a town within Judah. The journey to this region connects Mary to the Davidic lineage, fulfilling prophecies about the Messiah's descent from David. The specific town is traditionally identified as Ein Karem, which is believed to be the birthplace of John the Baptist. This geographical detail underscores the historical and prophetic connections between Jesus and John, both of whom play pivotal roles in God's redemptive plan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/mary.htm">Mary</a></b><br>The mother of Jesus, who has just received the angelic announcement of her miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit.

The form of the proper noun is the same as that in "Bethlehem, of the land of Juda," in <a href="/matthew/2-6.htm" title="And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.">Matthew 2:6</a>. The city may have been one of those assigned to the priests within the limits of the tribe of Judah, and if so, it is interesting to think of the Virgin as undertaking a journey which brought her not far from the very spot in which she was to give birth to the divine Child. No city of the name of Juda is known, but there is a Juttah in <a href="/joshua/15-55.htm" title="Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,">Joshua 15:55</a>; <a href="/joshua/21-16.htm" title="And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.">Joshua 21:16</a>, in the neighbourhood of Maon and the Judaean Carmel, and therefore in the "hill country," which may possibly be that which is here referred to.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 39.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste.</span> Between the annunciation and this journey of Mary to visit her cousin Elisabeth, we must interpose the events narrated in St. Matthew's Gospel, viz. the natural suspicion of her betrothed future husband, Joseph. his action in the matter; and then the dream of Joseph, in which her innocence was vindicated. As we believe that St. Luke's story here was derived from Mary's own narrative, we can understand well that these details, related by St. Matthew, were scarcely touched upon, and the mother would hurry on to the real points of interest in that eventful past of hers. The hill country here alluded to is the elevated district of Judah, Benjamin, and Mount Ephraim, in contradistinction to the low maritime plain on the east - the old Philistia. <span class="cmt_word">Into a city of Juda</span>. There is no such city known as "Juda." Some have supposed that the text is corrupt here, and that for "Yuda" we should read "Jutta," which, according to <a href="/joshua/15-55.htm">Joshua 15:55</a>, was a priestly city in the hill country. There is a rabbinical tradition in the Talmud which places the residence of Zacharias at Hebron. It is very probable that Hebron, the great priestly city, is here signified. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/1-39.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">In</span><br /><span class="grk">ἐν</span> <span class="translit">(en)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1722.htm">Strong's 1722: </a> </span><span class="str2">In, on, among.
