In the SVG version, I have included OpenStreetMap layers which are © OpenStreetMap contributors, a note which must be included if those layers are ever displayed. The contours were using NASA data through Maperative. These maps have been built on a basic SVG map of Jerusalem which is available in the public domain ( ) and edited based on a large number of other sources. Click on each picture to see the map at a higher resolution. Some of the places listed above are shown on the maps below: one in portrait mode and the other in landscape (last updated in April 2020). Several of Jerusalem’s gates are mentioned in Jeremiah – see article “The city gates of Jerusalem”. Line to Hill Gareb and turn to Goah (Jeremiah 31:39).Valley of the dead bodies (cemetery) (Jeremiah 31:40 26:23? 2 Kings 23:6 2 Chronicles 34:4).Valley of Ben Hinnom (Slaughter) / Topheth (Jeremiah 7:31-32 19:2, 6 32:35).House of Jonathan the secretary/scribe (prison/dungeon) (Jeremiah 37:15-16, 20 38:26).2nd Quarter (home of Huldah) (2 Kings 22:14 2 Chronicles 34:22 Zephaniah 1:10).

The largest list of places in the book of Jeremiah is given in Jeremiah 25 when God is commanding him to take the cup of God’s wrath to the kings and leaders of many nations (see “God’s cup of anger”). Three maps covering the same areas are included below. Now, finally, I can present some “Jeremiah maps”.įirst there is a list of places of interest in the story of the life of Jeremiah, and they are grouped in categories from the smallest area (Jerusalem) to the largest area (the Middle East).

With the series Terror on Every Side! it was hard to include all the places of interest when some are only a hundred metres apart while others are scattered over thousands of kilometres. However, making maps can take a lot of planning.
Maps help me to know where a character, or a story, is headed – whether it is Paul on his missionary journeys or the hero of a novel. I like Bibles with maps I like text books with maps I like novels with maps.
