Galilee
Northern Israel, Israel
Galilee was the northern region of ancient Israel where Jesus spent most of His earthly ministry. Isaiah prophesied that a great light would shine on 'Galilee of the Gentiles' (Isaiah 9:1), fulfilled when Jesus began His ministry there after the imprisonment of John the Baptist (Matthew 4:12-17). The region was home to Jesus' disciples — most of whom were Galilean fishermen — and the site of many miracles. Its people were sometimes looked down upon by Judeans, yet Galilee became the cradle of Christianity.

How is this different from a list of biblical place names?
A name list tells you that a place exists. This explorer lets you search structured records, filter them by geography and biblical classification, open the representative passages attached to each place, copy a source-linked study card, and export the current result set.
Are the passage counts exhaustive occurrence totals?
No. They are counts of representative passage links stored for each place. They are designed as reliable entry points for study, not as a substitute for a complete concordance search.
Does a map pin prove a disputed biblical identification?
No. A map pin means coordinates are present in the record. It does not by itself resolve archaeological, historical, or traditional disagreements. The explorer avoids adding coordinates when none are recorded.
Can a publisher embed the explorer?
Yes. The page provides ready-to-copy iframe code for a dedicated embed that omits the site header, footer, advertising, and analytics. The visible attribution and profile links keep every reused record traceable to its source page.
