Ezra 7:9

He began his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month [Nisan] and arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month [of], [the long journey went well] because the good hand of God (Elohim) was upon him.
[The journey, via Carchemish in northern Syria, was long and dangerous, see Ezra 8:21–22. The date 1 Nisan corresponds to April 8 and the 1st of the Hebrew month av on August 4, 458 BC. It took just over three and a half months to travel the 1,400 km, walking an average of 15 km per day. The latter part of the journey during the summer months is particularly hot in the area. The dates also allude to a new exodus similar to that from Egypt, see Ex. 12:2; Num. 33:3. There is also a connection to the prophet Isaiah, see Isa. 11:11–16.]
