Strong's Lexicon karmel: Carmel, fruitful field, plantation Original Word: כַּרְמֶל Word Origin: Derived from the root word כֶּרֶם (kerem), meaning "vineyard" or "orchard." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "karmel," the concept of a fruitful field or vineyard can be related to Greek words such as ἀμπελών (ampelōn, Strong's G290), meaning "vineyard." Usage: The Hebrew word "karmel" primarily refers to a fertile, fruitful field or plantation. It is often used to describe a place of abundance and lushness, symbolizing prosperity and divine blessing. In the Bible, "karmel" can refer to both literal and metaphorical fields of plenty. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of life and economy. The term "karmel" would evoke images of bountiful harvests and God's provision. The region of Mount Carmel, known for its beauty and fertility, is a significant geographical location in biblical narratives. It was a place where the prophet Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal, demonstrating God's power and sovereignty (1 Kings 18).
