Lake Semichonitis Huleh

H4 on the Map

Lake Semichonitis was the name that Josephus used to refer to it (Ant. v.1; iii Wars x.7; iv Wars i:1).

Lake Huleh was the Greek name of the lake called in Rabbiinic literature: Sea of Samcho (Simchu).

From the lower end of the lake the Jordan River enters the Great Rift below sea-level. It descends a narrow gage in an almost continual cascade dropping almost 700 feet in less than 9 miles and then slows down as it enters its own delta and deposits quietly into the Sea of Galilee.
