Cin´nereth, or Cinneroth, one of the 'fenced cities' of the tribe of Naphtali (;; ). In the last of the texts cited it seems to indicate a district. It is also the earlier name of the lake Gennesareth (which is supposed to be a corruption of Cinnereth), from which we may collect that the town lay on the western border of the lake, and was of sufficient consequence to give its own name to it. It is even supposed that Cinnereth, afterwards Gennesareth, was the earlier name of the town of Tiberias, and under the latter change still extended its own denomination to the lake; nor is there anything improbable in this conjecture.
