In Acts 7:11 the AV follows a reading of the noun with the definite article which necessitates the insertion of "land." See EARTH.

(3) In Acts 20:13, pezeuo, "to travel by land" or "on foot" (pezos, "on foot;" pous, "a foot"), is translated "to go by land," RV, AV, "to go afoot," and RV marg., "to go on foot."
