Ancient Near East Before Exodus by Abingdon Press

Ancient Near East before the Exodus

This map sets out the world Genesis describes, from the Mesopotamian floodplain down to the Sinai Peninsula. Produced by Abingdon Press for readers working through the patriarchal narratives, the geography does half the explaining: the movement out of Ur, the settlement of Canaan, the fertile arc of land linking the Tigris and Euphrates to the Nile.

Babylonia is labeled, along with the Sinai, Jerusalem, and Canaan, so place names in the text have somewhere to land. This 2003 English edition is one of the Abingdon Bible maps Map Shop keeps in stock for church and school use.

Common uses include:

• Hanging in fellowship halls during a Genesis series
• Tracing Abraham’s route in Sunday school and parochial school settings
• Old Testament survey work in homeschool environments
• Quick reference for seminary students

Available on paper or mounted with black or walnut molding rails for permanent wall display.
