    Dictionary Summary: A town of Naphtali, called Chinnereth ([Josh. 19:35](/josh#Josh.19.35)), sometimes in the plural form Chinneroth (11:2). In later times the name was gradually changed to Genezar and Gennesaret ([Luke 5:1](/luke#Luke.5.1)). This city stood on the western shore of the lake to which it gave its name. No trace of it remains. The plain of Gennesaret has been called, from its fertility and beauty, “the Paradise of Galilee.” It is now called el-Ghuweir. 2
