Tiberias," from the city of that name,
John 6:1, and "Sea of Chinneroth" in the Old Testament
Galilee - Maimonides was buried at
Tiberias. Hot springs at
Tiberias and elsewhere, and not infrequent earthquakes, indicate a continuance of volcanic and analogous energies. Besides these there was the cultivated European class the inhabitants of the Greek cities that surrounded the Sea of
Tiberias, and the military representatives of the dominant power of Rome
Jordan - But besides these, there is a third and longer stream, which rises beyond the northern limit of Palestine, near Hasbeia on the west side of mount Hermon, flows twenty-four miles to the south, and unites with the other streams before they enter the "waters of Merom," now lake Huleh, the Jordan flows about nine miles south-ward to the sea of
Tiberias, through which its clear and smooth course may be traced twelve miles to the lower end. ...
Between these two seas, that of
Tiberias and the Dead Sea, lies the great valley or plain of the Jordan,
2 Kings 25:4 2 Chronicles 4:17 . The sea of
Tiberias lies 312 (according to Lynch, 653) feet below the level of the Mediterranean, and the Dead Sea 1,316 feet; hence the fall of the Jordan between the two seas Isaiah 1,000 feet
Sea of Galilee - The word ‘Sea’ (θάλασσα) stands alone in
John 6:17-25, and the form ‘Sea of
Tiberias’ (θάλασσα τῆς Τιβεριάδος) occurs in
John 6:1;
John 21:1. The modern designation, ‘Lake of
Tiberias,’ does not occur in the NT. onwards the official designation became ‘Sea of
Tiberias’; and as proof of this statement he cites the Palestinian Talmud. This reasoning, however, seems inconclusive; for, apart from the fact that the Palestinian Talmud contains much that is old, it seems impossible, in view of the conservatism of the Rabbis, that such a name as ‘Sea of
Tiberias’ should be found in their writings, unless it had been in common use for a considerable time. רקח, which seems to justify the identification of
Tiberias with the older Rakkath,
Joshua 19:35; Megilla, 5b, 6a; G. 447) about 2½ miles long and ¼ of a mile broad at its widest part, and at the north end of this is the modern town of
Tiberias. From this point onward to the Jordan the hills again extend down to the shore, but by gentler slopes than even to the south of
Tiberias. , and midway between
Tiberias and Kersa it is 114. Josephus Vita, 16), south of
Tiberias (132° to 144°), ‘Ain Bârideh (80°), ‘Ain Mudauwarah (73°), ‘Ain et-Tîn (82°), and ‘Ain et-Tâbigha (73° to 86°). A brackish taste can be perceived at different places, and especially at a point ⅔ across between
Tiberias and Kersa, where in the warmer water great shoals of fish are wont to congregate. These springs are all more or less sulphurous, and in all the centuries they have been used for medicinal purposes—especially those at
Tiberias (BJ ii. Ben Azzai taught on the shores of
Tiberias (Erubin, 29a), and Rabbi Jehudah in the open air (Moed Katon, 16a). This may be understood by the fact that when a westerly wind is blowing, all may be smooth along the shores to the north and south of
Tiberias and for a mile out, but there we may pass in a moment from the region of perfect calm into a gale so violent that the only chance of safety is to run before the wind to the eastern shore. A company of visitors were standing on the shore at
Tiberias, and, noting the glassy surface of the water and the smallness of the Lake, they expressed doubts as to the possibility of such storms as those described in the Gospels

Joram - It must be observed, however, that, according to the Talmud, the river bore the name of Jordan only between the Lake of
Tiberias and the Dead Sea, a statement which is neither confirmed nor contradicted by the Bible, and cannot be proved in any way; we may add that, according to some writers, the present custom is exactly the opposite, for it is alleged—has the claim any foundation?—that at the present day only the part of the river above the lake is called , and the part below, îa. Almost immediately after leaving Lake Huleh, which is 7 feet above the level of the Mediterranean, the Jordan begins to fall below the level of the sea; the Lake of
Tiberias is 682 feet, the Dead Sea 1292 feet, below it. ...
The course of the Jordan is interrupted twice—first by the Lake of Huleh, a description of which occurs later in the course of the present article, then by the Lake of
Tiberias or Sea of Galilee (which see); we have not to examine this here. These interruptions quite naturally cause us to divide the next part of this article into three sections: (a) the sources of the Jordan, (b) the Upper Jordan as far as Lake
Tiberias, (c) the Lower Jordan from the Lake of
Tiberias to the Dead Sea. —From the confluence, which we have just mentioned, to the Lake of
Tiberias the course of the Jordan is unimportant from a historical point of view. For the description of the whole upper course of the Jordan from its sources to the Lake of
Tiberias, including Lake Huleh, see Macgregor, The Rob Roy on the Jordan, 1869, 5th ed. —The Jordan issues from the Lake of
Tiberias at a place called Bab et-Tum, leaving on the east the little modern village of Semakh, which has no bridge connecting it with the right bank, and as the river is not fordable at this place, the passage, naturally of frequent occurrence, is accomplished by means of boats. The distance in a straight line from the Lake of
Tiberias to the Dead Sea is about 65 miles, but if we take into account all the sinuosities of the river it reaches a total of 200 miles. One of them, the Hieromax of the Greeks, the Yarmuk of the Rabbis, the Sherî‘at el-Manaḍireh of the Arabs, already mentioned above, flows down from the high plateau on the east of Lake
Tiberias, and passes between the warm springs of el-Hammah and the ancient Gadara (modern Umm Keis). Yet on three occasions the attempt has been made to sail down its course from the Lake of
