Related lemmas: ἁλίζω

Sense 1: the sea

Semantic entry: 1.69

Semantic domains: Geographical Objects and Features

Sense 2: sea, lake

Semantic entry: 1.70

Semantic domains: Geographical Objects and Features

Subdomains: Bodies of Water

Definition: a particular body of water, normally rather large

Notes: The use of θάλασσα[b] to refer to a lake such as the Lake of Galilee (RV MAT 4:18 · LV MAT 4:18 · Read together MAT 4:18; RV MRK 1:16 · LV MRK 1:16 · Read together MRK 1:16) or the Lake of Tiberias (RV JHN 21:1 · LV JHN 21:1 · Read together JHN 21:1) reflects Semitic usage, in which all bodies of water from oceans to pools could be referred to by a single term. Normal Greek usage would employ λίμνη lake, pool (1.72: λίμνη).|Many languages make a clear distinction between different types of bodies of water. The three principal bases for differentiation are (1) fresh, brackish, or salty, (2) relative size, that is, large versus small bodies of water, and (3) existence of an outlet. On the basis of this third type of distinction, a term to designate the Sea of Galilee would need to be different from that used in speaking of the Dead Sea, since the Sea of Galilee has an outlet while the Dead Sea does not. Considerable care must be exercised in the choice of terms for such bodies of water, since failure to select the right terms may result in serious distortion of geography and therefore considerable misunderstanding of the geographical setting of biblical events.
