Dict: easton - Chinnereth

easton:

Chinnereth @ lyre, the singular form of the word kjv@Deuteronomy:3:17; kjv@Joshua:19:35), which is also used in the plural form, Chinneroth, the name of a fenced city which stood near the shore of the lake of Galilee, a little to the south of Tiberias. The town seems to have given its name to a district, as appears from kjvKings:15:20, where the plural form of the word is used. The Sea of Chinnereth kjv@Numbers:34:11; kjv@Joshua:13:27), or of Chinneroth kjv@Joshua:12:3), was the "lake of Gennesaret" or "sea of Tiberias" kjv@Deuteronomy:3:17; kjv@Joshua:11:2). Chinnereth was probably an ancient Canaanitish name adopted by the Israelites into their language.
