What is Chorazin?
CHORA'ZIN
, a city named with Capernaum and Bethsaida in the woes pronounced by Christ. Matt 11:20-23; Luke 10:13. The identification of Chorazin depends largely, though not wholly, upon that of Capernaum. Robinson places it at Tell Hum, but others, with greater probability, fix its site at Kerdzeh, 2 1/2 miles west of Tell Hum, and west of the valley of the Jordan. The ruins cover a large area, and consist of a synagogue, the ornaments being cut in black basalt rock, walls of dwellings, columns which supported the roofs and doorways, some of them in a tolerably perfect condition, and a paved roadway leading to the great caravan-route to Damascus. See Capernaum.
