Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
CHORAZIN.A place referred to only in the denunciation by Christ (Mat_11:21, Luk_10:13). It is with probability identified with Kerazeh, north of Tell Hum, where are remains of pillars, walls, etc., of basalt.
R. A. S. Macalister.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
With Capernaum and Bethsaida doomed to "woe," because of neglected spiritual privileges. The scene of many of Jesus' mighty works, which failed to bring its people to repentance and faith (Mat_11:21; Luk_10:13). No work of Jesus is recorded in it, a proof of how much more he did than is written (Joh_21:25). Probably at Kerazeh, near Tell Hum.

Chora'zin. One of the cities in which our Lord's mighty works were done, but named only in His denunciation. Mat_11:21; Luk_10:13. St. Jerome describes it as on the shore of the lake, two miles from Capernaum, but its modern site is uncertain.

kō̇-rā?zin (Χοραζίν, Chorazı́n, Mat_11:21; Χωραζίν, Chōrazı́n, Luk_10:13; Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek Χοραζείν, Chorazeı́n): A city whose name appears only in the woe pronounced against it by Christ (Mat_11:21; Luk_10:13). Its appearance there, however, shows that it must have been a place of some importance, and highly privileged by the ministry of Jesus. It was already deserted in the time of Eusebius, who places it 2 miles from Capernaum (Onomasticon, under the word). We can hardly doubt that it is represented by the extensive ruins of Kerāzeh, on the heights to the north of Tell Ḥūm. It is utterly desolate: a few carved stones being seen among the heaps. There are traces of a Roman road which connected the ancient city with the great highway between north and south which touched the lake shore at Khān Minyeȟ.

Chora?zin, a town mentioned in Mat_11:21; Luk_10:13, in connection with Bethsaida and Capernaum, not far from which, in Galilee, it appears to have been situated. Jerome makes it a village of Galilee, on the shore of the Lake Tiberias, two miles from Capernaum. But no place of the name has been historically noticed since his days; and not only the town, but its very name appears to have long since perished. [BETHESDA; CAPERNAUM]

Chorazin
(Χοραζίν v. r. Χοραζείν, Χοροζαϊvν, and Χωραζίν), one of the cities (πόλεις) in which our Lord's mighty works were done, but named only in his denunciation (Mat_11:21; Luk_10:13; see Scherzer, Salvatoris oraculum, Vet tibi Chorazin, Lips. 1710), in connection with Bethsaida and Capernaum, not far from which, in Galilee, it appears to have been situated. It was known to Jerome, who describes it (Comm. in Matthew 11) as on the shore of the lake, 2 miles from Capernaum, or 12 miles, according to Eusebius (Onomast. s.v. Χωραζείν, Chorozain). Some compare the Talmudical Keraz n [q.v.J (כרזין, Menachoth, fol. 85, 1), mentioned as being famous for wheat (Reland, Palaest. p. 722; Schwarz, Palest. p. 189); while others compare " HAROSHETH SEE HAROSHETH (q.v.) of the Gentiles" (הִגּוֹים חֲרשֶׁת, Jdg_4:2); and still others consider the name as having been in the vernacular Charashin (חרשין), i.e. woody places (Lightfoot, p. 160 sq.). Origen and some MSS. write the name Chora-Zin (Χώρα Ζίν, H. Ernesti, Observatt. Amst. 1636, 2:6), i.e. district of Zin; but this is probably mere conjecture. St.Willibald (about A.D. 750) visited the various places along the lake in the following order- Tiberias, Magdalum, Capernaum, Bethsaida, Chorazin (Early Trav. Bohn, p. 17), being doubtless guided by local tradition, for the knowledge of the site has become utterly extinct (Robinson, Researches, 3:295). Some writers at one time supposed it to be the same with Kelat el-Ilorsa, a place on the eastern shore of the Sea of Gennesareth, where Seetzen (Reisen, 1:344) and Burckhardt (Trav. p. 265) describe some ruins; but this is written Kel-Hossu on later maps. A more recent writer (in the Hall. Lit.- Zeit. 1845, No. 233) regards it as a place in Wady el-Jamus; but this also lacks authority. Pococke (East, 2:72) speaks of a village called Gerasi among the hills west of Tell-Houm, 10 or 12 miles north-north-east of Tiberias, and close to Capernaum. The natives, according to Dr. Richardson, call it Chorasi. It is apparently this place which Keith and Van de Velde (Memoir, p. 304) call Kerazeh, and describe as containing several pedestals of columns, with leveled shafts, and the remains of a building formed of large hewn stones; while Dr. Robinson (Later Biblical Res. p. 360) rejects the identification with disparagement of the antiquities (p. 347), although he did not visit the site (Biblioth. Sacra, 1853, p. 137), which Dr. Thomson, nevertheless, confidently adopts (Land and Book, 2:8), apparently with good reason. M. De Saulcy is disposed to identify Chorazin with the fountain Ain et-Tin, near the northern extremity of the plain of Gennesareth; but his arguments, except the vicinity of the spots to the lake, are frivolous (Narrative, 2:371). The question is intimately connected with that of the position of Capernaum (q.v.). Dissertations on the curse pronounced by Christ against this and the neighboring places (Mat_11:21) have been written in Latin by Scherzer (Lips. 1666), Hornbeck (Miscell. Sacr. Ultraj. 1687, I, 3:301 sq.), Schott (Tüb. 1766).
