This map comes from an old English Bible. The instruction in the bottom right hand corner reads: “Place this Mappe at the 33 Chapter of Numbers.” The map orients to the west, with the Mediterranean Sea at the top, Egypt and the Red Sea on the left, the Wilderness of Moab (today Jordan) in the foreground, and Syria on the right.
