<p> (Heb. Kartan', קִרְתָּן '', | <p> (Heb. Kartan', קִרְתָּן '', [[Double]] City,'' an old dual from קֶרֶת; Sept. Καρθάν v. r. Θεμμών and Νοεμμών), a town of Naphtali, assigned to the Gershonite Levites, and appointed to be one of the cities of refuge ( Joshua 21:32). In the parallel passage ( 1 Chronicles 6:76) it is called by the equivalent name of KIRJATHAIM. The associated names suggest the probability of some locality near the north-western shore of the Sea of Tiberias, perhaps the ruined village marked as el-Katanah on [[Van]] de Velde's map, on wady Furam, about midway between Lake [[Tiberias]] and the Huleh. </p> | ||

<p> ''''' kar´tan ''''' ( קרתּן , <i> ''''' ḳartān ''''' </i> ): | <p> ''''' kar´tan ''''' ( קרתּן , <i> ''''' ḳartān ''''' </i> ): A city in the territory of Naphtali, given to the Gershonite Levites ( Joshua 21:32 ). It is called Kiriathaim in 1 Chronicles 6:76 . Kartan may be a contraction of this. Cheyne ( <i> EB </i> , under the word) suggests that both names may be corruptions from "Chinnereth." Neither is mentioned in Joshua 19:32 , Joshua 19:38 , in the list of Naphtalite cities, while [[Chinnereth]] is. </p> | ||
