Χοραζίν ([so GL, also Mt. xi. 21 Rec.; Lk. x. 13 Ree.*!"] ; Χοραζείν T Tr WH; [Xwpativ, Lk. x. 13 Rec.*te2; see et, 1; Pdf. Proleg. p. 84; WH. App. p. 1551), ἡ, indecl. Chorazin, a town of Galilee, which is mentioned neither in the O. T. nor by Josephus; acc. to Jerome (in his Onomast. [cf. Euseb. onomast. ed. Larsow and Parthey Ρ- 374]) two miles distant from Capernaum; perhaps the same place which in the talmud, Menach. f. 85, 1 is called pn [ef. Edersheim, Jesus the Messiah, ii. 139], the remains of which Robinson (Biblical Researches, iii. 347, 359 sq.) thinks must be sought for in the ruins of the modern Tell Him; but Wilson (Recovery of Jerusalem Am. ed. pp. 270, 292 sqq.; Our Work in Palestine, p- 188), with whom [Thomson (Land and Book, ii. 8)], Socin (in Baedeker’s Palestine and Syria, Eng. ed. p. 374), Wolff (in Riehm p. 235), [the Conders (Hdbk. to the Bible, p. 324), and the majority of recent scholars] agree, holds to the more probable opinion which identi. fies it with Kerdzeh, a heap of ruins lying an hour's journey to the N. E. of Tell Ham: Mt. xi. 21; Lk. x. 13. Cf. Win. RWB. 8. v.; Keim i. p. 605 [Eng. trans. ii. 367] and ii. 118 [Eng. trans. iii. 143].
