Usage: The term הַרְמוֹן (Harmon) is used in the context of a fortified place or stronghold. It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a reference to a location associated with strength and protection.

Context: • The term הַרְמוֹן (Harmon) is found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Amos. In Amos 4:3, the prophet Amos delivers a message of judgment against the people of Israel, indicating that they will be taken away with hooks and cast out toward Harmon. The context suggests a place of exile or a distant location, possibly a fortress or a high place. The exact identification of Harmon is uncertain, and it may refer to a specific geographical location known to the original audience or serve as a symbolic representation of a place of captivity or judgment.
