 * Galilee.
   Galilee was a province of Palestine, being bounded, says
   Josephus, on the west by Ptolemais and mount Carmel; on the
   south by the country of Samaria and Scythopolis, on the river
   Jordan; on the east by the cantons of Hyppos, Gadara, and
   Gaulon; and on the north by the confines of the Tyrians.  It
   was divided into Lower and Upper Galilee;--Upper Galilee, so
   called from its being mountainous, was termed Galilee of the
   Gentiles (Mt 4:15,) because inhabited, says Strabo, by
   Egyptians, Arabians, and Phoenicians, and comprehended the
   tribes of Asher and Naphtali; the Lower Galilee contained the
   tribes of Zebulun and Issachar, and was sometimes termed the
   Great Field.  It was, says Josephus, very populous and rich,
   containing 204; cities and towns.
