The tribe of Gad was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, as mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). The tribe was named after Gad, who was one of the sons of Jacob and the founder of the Gadite clan.

The tribe of Gad received its territory as an inheritance when the Israelites conquered the Promised Land. Their allotted land was located east of the Jordan River, in what is now modern-day Jordan. The territory of Gad included areas such as Gilead, Bashan, and the northern parts of Ammon.

The Gadites were known for their military prowess and were skilled warriors. They played a significant role in battles alongside the other tribes of Israel. However, they also faced challenges and conflicts with neighboring nations.

Christian Adrichomius, also known as Christian van Adrichem or Christian Adrichemius, was a Dutch Catholic priest, theologian, and geographer. He was born in 1533 in Delft, Netherlands, and died in 1585 in Cologne, Germany.

Adrichomius is best known for his work on biblical geography and cartography. His most famous work is "Theatrum Terrae Sanctae et Biblicarum Historiarum" (The Theater of the Holy Land and Biblical History), published in 1590. This book provided detailed maps and descriptions of biblical sites, making it an important resource for pilgrims and scholars.

"Theatrum Terrae Sanctae" consisted of several sections, including maps and descriptions of the Holy Land, Egypt, and other biblical locations. The work also included illustrations of important biblical events and a chronological overview of biblical history.

Adrichomius' maps and descriptions were highly influential and widely used in the following centuries. His work had a significant impact on the understanding of biblical geography and the visualization of biblical narratives.

In addition to his work on biblical geography, Adrichomius was involved in Catholic theological and religious debates of his time. He served as a priest and chaplain in several Dutch cities before fleeing to Germany due to religious persecution.
