- Galilee (/ˈɡælɪliː/; Hebrew: הַגָּלִיל, romanized: hagGālīl; Latin: Galilaea; Arabic: الجليل, romanized: al-Jalīl) is a region located in northern Israel and southern Lebanon consisting of two parts: the Upper Galilee (הגליל העליון, ha-Galil ha-Elyon; الجليل الأعلى, al-Jalīl al-Aʿlā) and the Lower Galilee (גליל תחתון, Galil Taḫton; الجليل الأسفل, al-Jalīl al-Asfal).
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
