The Province of Yehud

Over the past few classes I have been talking about the small province of Yehud. Since my crude blackboard maps are less than exact, I though I would give you a few maps to look at. The actual borders of Yehud are a matter of debate.

Map #1 shows a reconstruction of the province that is a little smaller. Map #2 extends the area of the province into the North-West somewhat. The smaller map takes into account some of the natural boundaries of the region in its reconstruction, and thus I generally feel that it is more reliable. In any event, the region is quite small.
