This is a plain bordering the lake of the same name on the N.W. It is about a mile and a quarter wide and three miles long, reaching nearly to Tell Hum. It has some springs, besides three streams that cross it, and being thus well watered, is a place of great fertility. Josephus gives a glowing description of it. Wars 3:10,8. Being close to Capernaum it was doubtless often traversed by the Lord, and was where many of His miracles were wrought. Matthew 14:34; Mark 6:53 . The district is now called el Ghuweir.
