Subjects in this Topic:
CHINNERETH.—A city (Deu_3:17, Jos_11:2 [in latter spelt Chinneroth] Jos_19:35) which gave its name to the Sea of Chinnereth (Num_34:11, Jos_12:3; Jos_13:27), the OT designation of the Sea of Galilee. The site of the town is uncertain, but it follows Rakkath (probably Tiberias), and may have been in the plain of Gennesaret (cf. 1Ki_15:20).
