Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root כִּנּוֹר (kinnor), meaning "harp" or "lyre."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry is G1082, which refers to the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias or Lake Gennesaret in the New Testament. This Greek term is used to describe the same body of water as the Hebrew Kinnereth, highlighting its continued importance in the biblical narrative from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

Usage: The term is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a geographical area and a significant body of water in the northern part of Israel. It is mentioned in the context of territorial boundaries and historical narratives.

Context: Kinneroth, also known as Kinnereth, is a term used in the Old Testament to describe both a city and a region located near the Sea of Galilee. The name is believed to be derived from the Hebrew word for "harp," possibly due to the harp-like shape of the lake. The city of Kinneroth is mentioned in the context of the tribal allotments in the Book of Joshua: "The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth" (Joshua 19:35, BSB). The region of Kinneroth is noted for its fertile land and strategic location, making it an important area for agriculture and trade in ancient Israel.

The Sea of Kinnereth, also known as the Sea of Galilee, is a freshwater lake that plays a significant role in the New Testament as the site of many events in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. The lake is situated in the Jordan Rift Valley and is fed by the Jordan River. Its significance extends beyond its geographical and economic importance, as it is a central location in biblical narratives.
