Bible Meaning: A furnance of smoke
Strong's Concordance #G5523
Chorazin is located northwest of the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum. The city's only New Testament reference is in the books of Matthew and Luke. Chorazin, as well as Bethsaida, are condemned by the Lord for not repenting of their sins in spite of the mighty works done in them. Such works, according to Jesus, if done in Tyre or Sidon would have caused the people to repent!
