John 6:1 After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias). Mark 6:53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

The children of Israel give an inheritance to Joshua The fortified cities were The mention of "fortified cities" indicates strategic military and defensive importance. In ancient Israel, fortified cities were essential for protection against invasions and served as administrative centers. These cities often had walls, gates, and towers, reflecting their significance in maintaining security and order. Ziddim Zer Hammath Rakkath Chinnereth Persons / Places / Events 1. ZiddimA fortified city within the territory allotted to the tribe of Naphtali. Its exact location is uncertain, but it is part of the strategic defense network in the region. 2. Zer Another fortified city in Naphtali's inheritance. Like Ziddim, its precise location is not definitively known today, but it played a role in the defense and administration of the area. 3. Hammath A city known for its hot springs, which is likely identified with the modern-day Hamat Tiberias. It was a significant location due to its natural resources. 4. Rakkath This city is often associated with the ancient city of Tiberias, located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was strategically important due to its proximity to water. 5. Chinnereth This city shares its name with the Sea of Chinnereth (Sea of Galilee). It was a vital location for trade and transportation. Teaching Points The Importance of Strategic LocationsThe cities listed in Joshua 19:35 were fortified for protection and control. In our lives, we should identify and fortify areas that are strategically important for our spiritual growth and defense against spiritual attacks. God's Provision and Inheritance Just as God provided specific inheritances to the tribes of Israel, He provides each believer with unique gifts and callings. We should seek to understand and steward these gifts faithfully. Historical and Spiritual Significance Understanding the historical context of biblical locations can enrich our appreciation of Scripture. It reminds us that God's work is both timeless and rooted in real history. Community and Defense The fortified cities represent a community's need for protection and cooperation. In the church, we are called to support and defend one another, building a strong community of faith.(35) The fenced cities.--Observe the protection of the northern border by fortresses. Ziddim (Hattin), Hammath (Hammam Tabariya), Rakkath (Tiberias), and Chinnereth (not identified, but giving a name to the Sea of Galilee, and therefore evidently close by), are all in sheet 6, near the lake. (36,37) Adamah (Ed-Dameh,?Daimah, sheet 6), Ramah (Rameh), Hazor (Hadireh), Kedesh (Kades), Edrei (Y'ater), En-hazor (Hazireh), and Iron (Y'arum), are all in sheet 4, north of the above. The town of Hazor has been variously identified by previous writers, but Conder expresses no doubt as to its being Hadireh, which certainly occupies a commanding position above a stream that flows into Lake Merom. Verse 35. - And the fenced cities. The remark is made in the 'Speaker's Commentary' that the number of fenced cities in the north were no doubt owing to a determination to protect the northern boundary of Israel by a chain of fortresses. The word fenced is the same that is rendered strong in ver. 29, "the strong city Tyre." Chinnereth (see Joshua 11:2).Parallel Commentaries ...
