Transliteration:Kapernaoum
Pronunciation:kah-per-nah-OOM
Phonetic Spelling:(cap-er-nah-oom')
Definition:Capernaum
Meaning:Capernaum, a town of Galilee. Word Origin:Derived from the Hebrew כְּפַר נַחוּם (Kfar Nahum), meaning "village of Nahum" or "village of comfort." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:The Hebrew origin כְּפַר נַחוּם (Kfar Nahum) does not have a direct Strong's Hebrew entry, but it is related to the concept of a village (כְּפַר) and the name Nahum (נַחוּם). Usage:Capernaum is a significant town mentioned in the New Testament, primarily in the Gospels. It served as a central hub for Jesus' ministry in Galilee. The town is frequently referenced as a place where Jesus performed miracles and taught in the synagogue. Cultural and Historical Background:Capernaum was a prosperous fishing village located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was a key location in the region of Galilee during the time of Jesus, with a mixed population of Jews and Gentiles. The town was strategically positioned on the Via Maris, an ancient trade route, which contributed to its economic significance. Capernaum housed a Roman garrison and a tax office, indicating its importance in the Roman administration. Archaeological excavations have uncovered a synagogue and residential structures, providing insights into the town's historical and cultural context.

WHs Appendix, p. 160; Scrivener, Introduction, p. 561)) Καφαρναούμ ( כָּפָר a village, and נָחוּם consolation; hence 'the village of consolation,' (others, 'village of Nachum' (a proper name)); Καπαρναουμ, Ptolemy, 5, 16, 4), ἡ, Capernaum or Capharnaum, a flourishing city of Galilee ( Matthew 11:23; Luke 10:15), situated on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee or Lake of Gennesaret ( John 6:17, 24; hence ἡπαραθαλασσια, Matthew 4:13), near the place where the Jordan flows into the lake. Being nowhere mentioned in the O. T. it seems to have been built after the exile (cf. also B. D. under the word ).Josephus mentions (b. j. 3, 10, 8) a fountain in Galilee called by the neighboring residentsΚαφαρναούμ, and (vita 72) 'κώμηνΚεφαρνωμην', and it is quite probable that he meant the town we are speaking of. It is mentioned in the N. T. (besides the passage already cited) inMatthew 8:5;Matthew 17:24;Mark 1:21;Mark 2:1;Mark 9:33;Luke 4:23, 31;Luke 7:1;John 2:12;John 4:46;John 6:59.
