| <p> (יָםאּכַּנֶּרֶת; Sept. [ἡ ]θάλασσα Χενέρεθ, Numbers 24:11; Joshua 13:27) or CHINNEROTH (כַּנְּרוֹה, Χενέρεθ, Joshua 12:3), the inland sea, which is most familiarly known to us by its New- Test. name as the "Lake of Gennesareth," or the "Sea of Tiberias" or "of Galilee." This is evident from the mode in which it is mentioned in various passages in the [[Pentateuch]] and Joshua as being at the end of Jordan, opposite to the " [[Sea]] of the Arabah," i.e. the [[Dead]] Sea, as having the [[Arabah]] or Ghor below it, etc. (Deuteronomy in, 17; Joshua 11:2; Joshua 13:3. In the two former of these passages the word "sea" is perhaps omitted). The word is by some derived from the Hebrews כַּנּוּר, Kinnur' (κιννύρα, cithara), a "harp," as if in allusion to the oval shape of the lake. But it is possible that [[Cinnereth]] was an ancient [[Canaanite]] name existing long prior to the [[Israelite]] conquest, and, like other names, adopted by the [[Israelites]] into their language. The subsequent name "Gennesar" was derived from "Cinnereth" by a change of letters of a kind frequent in the East. (See [[Gennesareth]]) </p> | | Sea Of Chinnereth <ref name="term_34927" /> |
