Before it was called the Sea of Galilee, Scripture referred to it as the Sea of Chinnereth (Joshua 12:3). The name means “harp,” likely describing its shape. This body of water witnessed the same mighty works of Christ but also carried deep Old Testament significance as part of Israel’s inheritance.
From Joshua’s conquest to Jesus’ ministry, Chinnereth became a place where God’s promises unfolded. It reminds us that God weaves His story across generations. The harp-shaped sea sings of His faithfulness, both then and now.
