GENNESARET - G>@ - (garden of the prince), 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 - kjv@Matthew:14:34; kjv@Mark:6:53) Compare kjv@Luke:5:1
