About this set
What you are getting
A map turns a name in your Bible into a place you can point to. These twenty free maps follow the Bible from Abraham’s journey out of Ur, through the Exodus and the twelve tribes’ lands, to the cities where Jesus taught and the sea roads that Paul sailed to Rome. Every map has two pages. The first page is labeled, with a key that gives each place and the Bible verse where you can find it. The second page is blank, ready for a child to write the names, color the lands and trace the route with a pencil or crayon. Use them one at a time beside your Bible reading. Read the verse in the key, find the place on the labeled map, then turn to the blank page and label it from memory. Younger children can color and trace; older children can measure the distances with the scale bar, play the “where is it” game, or hunt for thirty-two places in their own Bibles. Print at 100 percent on Letter paper, or print the pages you want and keep them in a binder. Nothing here needs a sign-in, and every map is free to download and share with your family and your co-op. Each place stands at its real longitude and latitude on one map of the Mediterranean lands, so the distances and directions are true, and every verse is the Berean Standard Bible word for word.

How we made these
Made by a homeschool family
All twenty maps are drawn from one coastline and one scale: the Mediterranean map in Ezra Learning’s own geography lessons. Every dot is placed from a written table of longitude and latitude, never by eye, and the distances on the worksheet are worked out from those same numbers (the straight-line, great-circle distance, rounded to the nearest 5). The twelve tribes’ lands are drawn as simple outlines, because Joshua gives the borders in words. Where the Bible does not say exactly where a place stood, the map says so with a star. Every verse is checked against the Berean Standard Bible text, and the pictures are objects only: a compass rose, a scale bar, a globe.
Questions
Questions families ask
Are these maps really free?
Yes. Every PDF downloads without an email address or an account, and you may print as many copies as your family or co-op needs. Each page carries “Free from ezralearning.com” at the bottom.
What is on the two pages of each map?
Page one is the labeled map with a key: the place names, numbered where there is a route, each with a Bible reference to read. Page two is the same map with the names taken off, a place to write them, a word bank, and a short coloring or tracing job. The three sheets that are not maps (the “where is it” game, the distance worksheet and the places-to-find list) have the sheet on page one and the answers or the blank map on page two.
Which Bible do the verses come from?
The Berean Standard Bible (BSB), word for word. Each page that quotes a verse names the reference and the translation, and the key gives the verse where each place is named.
How accurate are the maps?
Each place is plotted from its published longitude and latitude on a map with a true scale bar, so the distances are real. The coastline is a simple one, drawn for learning, so a very small island or a harbor can sit a little off the true shore. The twelve tribes’ lands are outlines, not surveyed borders, and a few places that the Bible does not locate are marked with a star.
What ages are these for?
Children from about age 7 can label and color them. The labeled pages suit younger readers with a parent, the distance worksheet suits ages 9 and up, and the places-to-find list works well for a whole family reading together.
How should we print them?
On Letter paper at 100 percent (“actual size”), because the scale bar on the distance worksheet is only right at that size. Black-and-white printing works; colored pencils are better on the blank page.
