"Kaart van de tocht van de Israëlieten" (Map of the Journey of the Israelites) is a 1700 hand-colored map by Dutch cartographer Dirk Janszoon van Santen (1638-1708). The map depicts the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land, as described in the Bible. The map is notable for its detailed depiction of the landscape, including mountains, rivers, and towns. It features a distinctive visual style that emphasizes the biblical narrative and the journey of the Israelites. The map is a good example of Dutch cartography from the 17th century and provides insights into the contemporary understanding of biblical geography.
