Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name כַּרְמִי (Karmi), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of lineage and tribal affiliation is echoed in various genealogical references throughout the New Testament, where the Greek term "γενεά" (genea, Strong's Greek 1074) is used to denote "generation" or "lineage."

Usage: The term "Karmi" is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to an individual named Carmi, who is a descendant of Reuben, the firstborn son of Jacob.

Context: • Carmi is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Reuben. He is identified as the son of Reuben, the firstborn of Jacob and Leah. The name "Carmi" is associated with the meaning "vineyard," which may reflect the agricultural lifestyle or heritage of his family.
• In the context of the biblical narrative, Carmi is listed among the descendants of Reuben in the genealogical records. His mention is brief, and there are no detailed stories or events directly associated with him in the biblical text.
• The significance of Carmi lies primarily in his role within the tribal lineage of Reuben, which is one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Reuben settled on the eastern side of the Jordan River, and its members were known for their pastoral and agricultural activities.
• The genealogical records, including the mention of Carmi, serve to establish the historical and familial connections among the tribes of Israel, emphasizing the continuity of the covenantal promises made to the patriarchs.
