Numbers 34:3

Salt Sea] Is not that Lake of Genesareth. But only that Dead Sea, and Salt Sea, where formerly Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim had stood, Deut. XXIX. 23. Hos. XI. 8.

Numbers 34:11

Riblah] Riblah in the Land of Hamath, part of the East border of Canaan, near the North quarter. Here Pharaoh-Nechoh put Jehoahaz in bonds, 2 Kings XXIII. 33. And Nebuchadnezzar put King Zedekiah in bonds, and put out his eyes, 2 King. XXV. 6, 7. And slew the High Priest, and second Priest, and the sonnes of Zedekiah, and other prime men, ver. 18,—21. Jer. LII. 10, 27. This Riblah seems to be that which was afterwards called Antiochia in Syria. Of this see my Annotations on Ezek. XI. 10, 11.

Chinnereth] Num. XXXIV. 11. Deut. III. 17. Josh. XI. 2. and XII. 27. and XIX. 35. is called in the New Testament Genezareth. Luke V. 1. which Lake is also called the Sea of Galilee, Matth. IV. 18. Mark I. 16. And the Sea of Tiberias, Josh. XXI. 1. And absolutely the Sea, Matth. XVII. 27.
