THis Portraict is to be seen in the Corner of that sheet, which describeth the land of Canaan, where also the fields, and the way which the Israelites did go in the wilderness is represented. But their tabernacles or pavillions are ill described, as they are also in many French Bibles at the be∣ginning of Leviticus, as I have ob∣served before.
As for the buildings of Jerusalem,
it is known that their houses were flat, and plain on the top, as they are through all the East, insomuch that men might walk upon them, yea, and keep assemblies on them. The upper part of the Temple was made in that plat-form. Many passages of the sa∣cred History will be incredible to those who mark not this Architecture of publick and particular edifices, as Judges 16. 27. But this Picture in the English Bible doth transform these upper parts of the houses, yea of the Temple it self, into Pyramids, as if they were the heads of Bells. Jerusalem was not builded in that manner. Such a portraict doth give a lye unto the History, and doth de∣ceive the common people.
