Capernaum
Capernaum ( ; , ''Kfar Nahum'', "Nahum's village") was a fishing village in the time of the Hasmoneans, located on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee.〔Freedman, DN 2000, ''Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible'', Amsterdam University Press〕 It had a population of about 1,500.〔Reed, JL, Archaeology and the Galileen Jesus: A Reexamination of the Evidence (Harrisburg: Trinity Press International, 2000)〕 Archaeological excavations have revealed two ancient synagogues built one over the other. A church near Capernaum is said to be the home of Saint Peter.
== Etymology ==
''Kfar Nahum'', the original name of the small town, means "Nahum's village" in Hebrew, but apparently there is no connection with the prophet named ''Nahum''. In the writings of Josephus, the name is rendered in Greek as (''Kapharnaum'') and in the New Testament as (''Kapharnaum'') in some manuscripts and as (''Kapernaum'') in others. In Arabic, it is called ''Talhum'', and it is assumed that this refers to the ruin (''Tell'') of ''Hum'' (perhaps an abbreviated form of ''Nahum'') (Tzaferis, 1989).
