STRONGS NT 5523: Χοραζίν

Χοραζίν ((so G L, also Matthew 11:21 Rec.; Luke 10:13 Rec.elz); Χόρζειν T Tr WH; (Χωραζίν, Luke 10:13 Rec.st bez; see εἰ, ἰ; Tdf. Proleg., p. 84; WH's Appendix, p. 155a)), ἡ, indeclinable Chorazin, a town of Galilee, which is mentioned neither in the O. T. nor by Josephus; according to Jerome (in his Onomast. (cf. Eusebius, onomasticon, Larsow and Parthey edition, p. 374)) two miles distant from Capernaum; perhaps the same place which in the talmud, Menach. f. 85, 1 is called כרזין (cf. Edersheim, Jesus the Messiah, ii. 139), the remains of which Robinson (Biblical Researches, iii. 347, 359f) thinks must be sought for in the ruins of the modern Tell Hum; but Wilson (Recovery of Jerusalem, American edition, pp. 270, 292ff; Our Work in Palestine, p. 188), with whom (Thomson (Land and Book, ii. 8)), Socin (in Baedeker's Palestine and Syria, English edition, p. 374), Wolff (in Riehm, p. 235) (the Conders (Handbook. to the Bible, p. 324), and the majority of recent scholars) agree, holds to the more probable opinion which identifies it with Kerazeh, a heap of ruins lying an hour's journey to the N. E. of Tell Hum: Matthew 11:21; Luke 10:13. Cf. Winers RWB under the word; Keim, i., p. 605 (English translation, ii. 367) and ii. 118 (English translation, iii. 143).
