lyre, the singular form of the word (De 3:17; Jos 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 1Ki 15:20, where the plural form of the word is used.

The Sea of Chinnereth (Nu 34:11; Jos 13:27), or of Chinneroth (Jos 12:3), was the "lake of Gennesaret" or "sea of Tiberias" (De 3:17; Jos 11:2). Chinnereth was probably an ancient Canaanitish name adopted by the Israelites into their language.
