Also known as The Sea of Galilee, or in Hebrew, "Kinneret" (Harp - because of its shape,) Lake Tiberias lies in the Great Rift Valley, at 200 metres (700 ft) below sea level. It is 21 km long (13 miles) and 12 km wide (7.5 miles.) Its maximum depth is 48 metres (157 ft.)
Lake Tiberias is named after the city Tiberias on its western shore, which in turn is named after the Roman emperor Tiberias (42 BC - 37 AD) during whose reign the city was founded. It is Israel's main water source: water is pumped from here as far south as Beersheba. It also has large fishing and tourist industries, and is often the subject of works by Israel's poets and songwriters.
Under the name "The Sea of Galilee" it is mentioned several times in the New Testament. It was near here that Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount, and fed the masses, and it was here that he walked on the water.
