"Drawn under the direction of M. Arrowsmith. Hall sculpt. Published for the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, by M. Rivington, St Paul's Church Yard, London, May." Likely dates to 1816. Measures overall 11.25" x 8.75". M ap of the Holy Land showing the lands of the Bible, ranging from the Sinai to Sidon, and encompassing parts of modern day Egypt, Israel and Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. The map specifically focusses on the Land of Canaan at the time of the Old Testament Books of Joshua and Judges. The territories of the sons of Jacob are shown prominently, while a note below the title discusses the two main rivers identified with the biblical 'River of Egypt' by modern geographers.

The Society for promoting Christian Knowledge is the oldest Anglican mission organisation, having been founded in 1698 to spread knowledge of Christianity, in response to a perceived growth in 'vice and immorality' in late seventeenth century Britain. The Society aimed to promote Christianity through the publication of Christian educational material and the opening of schools and libraries. At present, it remains the largest publisher of Christian material in the United Kingdom.

The Arrowsmiths were a family of English mapmakers. The business was founded by Aaron Arrowsmith, Hydrographer to the Prince of Wales in c. 1810 and subsequently to the King in 1820. He was joined in 1810 by his nephew John Arrowsmith. After Aaron died in 1823, the business was continued by his sons Aaron Jr. and Samuel, who ran it until John took over the entire business.
