……结果发现正合我的意见。
and it was found in accordance with my opinion.
-
我说:哈末就是提比里亚。
I said that Hammath is Tiberias.
-
为什么称它为哈末呢?
And why was it called Hammath?
-
因为提比里亚的温泉就在那里。
On account of the hot springs of [ḥammei] Tiberias that are located there.
注:音训:哈末(חמת)与温泉(חמי)音近。

我又说:拉甲就是西弗里。
And I said that Rakkath is Tzippori.
-
为什么称它为拉甲呢?
And why was it called Rakkath?
-
因为它高出四周,像河的岸一样。
Because it is raised above the surrounding areas like the bank [rakta] of a river.
注:音训:拉甲(רקת)与河岸(רקתא)音近。
-
我又说:基尼烈就是革尼撒勒。
And I said that Chinnereth is Ginosar.
-
为什么称它为基尼烈呢?
And why was it called Chinnereth?
-
因为它的果子甘甜,像琴的声音一样。
Because its fruit are sweet like the sound of a harp [kinnor].
