A freshwater lake in northern Palestine, called both the Sea of Chinneroth and the Sea of Tiberias, where Jesus called his disciples and taught from boats. The lake bounds the tribal lands on Israel's east side and appears as a navigation landmark in Joshua's land divisions. Matthew, Mark, and John all recount Jesus stilling its storms and walking on water, making it a stage for his miracles.
