Bethsaida

A city whose name in Hebrew imports a place of fishing or of hunting, and for both of these exercises it was well situated. As it belonged to the tribe of Naphtali, it was in a country remarkable for plenty of deer; Bethsaida is rendered in the installed Bible Names resource as “house of fruits, or of food, or of snares.” This unified study connects 8 installed resource categories without replacing their source records.

BETHSAIDA

a city whose name in Hebrew imports a place of fishing or of hunting, and for both of these exercises it was well situated. As it belonged to the tribe of Naphtali, it was in a country remarkable for plenty of deer; and as it lay on the north end of the lake Gennesareth, just where the river Jordan runs into it, it became the residence of fishermen.
