The Sea of Galilee is a large freshwater lake in the historic region of Galilee, in present-day Israel. Its main source is the Jordan River, which flows through it from north to south: this relationship is generally depicted accurately on many Sfera maps that include both features.
This toponym does not appear in the poem, only on the maps accompanying it.
