Sea of Galilee
Sites in the Holy land Coin, 1990/5751
The Sea Galilee is one of the most beautiful spots in Israel. It stretches from the hills of Galilee in the west to the Golan Heights in the east. The Sea of Galilee is important in Christian tradition as the location of Capernaum and the Mount of Beatitudes. Its other names are: the Lake of Tiberias, after the city on its shore, and Kinneret because of its lyre (kinnor in Hebrew) shape, or, according to some, because the sound of its waves are as pleasing as the sound of the lyre. In the division of the land among the 12 Tribes of Israel, the Sea of Galilee lay in the territory of the Tribe of Naftali. Legend states that the waters of the Jordan River and of the Sea of Galilee do not mingle when they meet, a "wonder" of the Land of Israel.
