Ennesaret [1]
Gennes'aret. (garden of the prince). Gennesaret , Land of . It is generally believed that this term was applied to the fertile crescent-shaped plain on the western shore of the lake, extending from Khan Minyeh (two or three miles south of Capernaum (Tel-Hum ) on the north to the steep hill behind Mejdel (Magdala ) on the south, and called by the Arabs el-Ghuweir , "the little Ghor."
Mr. Porter gives the length as three miles, and the greatest breadth as about one mile. Additional interest is given to the land of Gennesaret, or el-Ghuweir , by the probability that its scenery suggested the parable of the sower. It is mentioned only twice in Scripture - Matthew 14:34; Mark 6:53. Compare Luke 5:1.
