Gennesaret
   a garden of riches. (1.) A town of Naphtali, called Chinnereth
   (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). 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.) The Lake of Gennesaret, the Grecized form of CHINNERETH
   (q.v.). (See GALILEE, SEA OF.)
