This is my map of Southern Israel, showing the probable route taken by Abraham and his son Isaac, when they travelled for three days from Beersheba to Moriah, which is just north of the ancient city of Jebus. This journey is outlined in Genesis chapter 22.
Date
While the exact calendar date is unknown, traditional biblical chronologies (such as Ussher’s [1]) place the event around 1871 B.C.
Notice the figures on the border of the map.
If you look carefully at the map border you will see I have included some little black and white figures.
