Dalmanutha: A place on the west of the Sea of Galilee, mentioned only in
(Mark 8:10)
In the parallel passage it is said that Christ came "into the borders
of Magdala"
(Matthew 15:39) It is plain, then, that Dalmanutha was near
Magdala, which was probably the Greek name of one of the many Migdols
(i.e., watch-towers) on the western side of the lake of Gennesaret.
It has been identified in the ruins of a village about a mile from
Magdala, in the little open valley of 'Ain-el-Barideh, "the cold
fountain," called el-Mejdel, possibly the "Migdal-el" of
(Joshua 19:38)
