Summary
| Description |
English: This is the first known map of the Holy Land in Hebrew, by Jacob ben Avraham, 1620/1621. It is a copy and translation of the 1590 map: File:Christian van Adrichem 1590 map Situs Terræ Promissionis SS bibliorum intelligentiam exacte aperiens.jpg
The upper Hebrew caption on the map recites several Hebrew verses, the first one being a partial quote from Deuteronomy 8:15; the second verse being a partial quote from Deuteronomy 8:2; the third verse being a partial quote taken from Jeremiah 2:6; the fourth verse, where it mentions the "land of the gazelle," is an allusion to Ezekiel 20:6; the fifth verse is a partial quote taken from Exodus 3:8; the sixth verse is taken from Deuteronomy 8:7; the seventh verse from Deuteronomy 8:8; the eighth verse being from Deuteronomy 11:12; which verse, in turn, is followed by Jeremiah 3:19. In the framed colophon, in the first line it reads: ציור מצב ארצות כנען (A Drawing of the Situation of the Lands of Canaan) |
