Kinnereth -- a city in Naphtali and its adjacent lake (the Sea of Galilee)
Kinnereth (also spelled Kinnerot/Kinneroth) is a proper place name designating both a fortified city in the tribal territory of Naphtali (Josh 19:35) and the adjacent freshwater lake that later became known as the Sea of Galilee or Lake Tiberias. The name may derive from kinnor ('harp'), perhaps reflecting the lake's harp-like shape. As yam Kinnereth ('Sea of Kinnereth') it appears in Numbers 34:11 and Joshua 12:3; 13:27, marking a key boundary marker in the tribal allotments. In 1 Kings 15:20, 'all Kinneroth' refers to the surrounding territory conquered by Ben-hadad of Aram. The name passes through all target languages virtually unchanged -- Spanish Quineret, French and German Kinnereth -- confirming its status as a geographic proper noun.

1. Kinnereth — A proper place name in Galilee within the territory of Naphtali, referring both to an ancient fortified city (Josh 19:35) and to the inland lake beside it, yam Kinnereth, the 'Sea of Kinnereth' (Num 34:11; Josh 12:3; 13:27), known in the New Testament era as the Sea of Galilee. The variant form Kinnerot/Kinneroth appears in Josh 11:2 and 1 Kgs 15:20, where it designates the broader region around the city and lake. The name possibly derives from kinnor ('harp'), evoking the lake's shape. Spanish Quineret, French Kinnereth, and German Kinnereth all preserve the toponym with minimal adaptation. 7×
