Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root word כֶּרֶם (kerem), meaning "vineyard" or "orchard."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G290 (ἄμπελος • ampelos): While not a direct equivalent, G290 refers to a "vine" or "vineyard" in Greek, sharing a thematic connection with the Hebrew כַּרְמֶל in terms of agricultural imagery and the concept of fruitfulness. The vineyard is a common biblical metaphor for God's people and their relationship with Him, as seen in passages like John 15:1, where Jesus declares, "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser."

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term כַּרְמֶל, highlighting its significance in biblical literature as a symbol of fertility, divine blessing, and spiritual abundance.

Usage: The word כַּרְמֶל appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often denoting a place of agricultural abundance or a fruitful field. It is used both literally and metaphorically to convey the idea of prosperity and divine blessing.

Context: Literal Usage: In its literal sense, כַּרְמֶל is used to describe fields or lands that are cultivated and productive. For example, in Isaiah 29:17, the transformation of Lebanon into a fertile field (כַּרְמֶל) signifies a future time of blessing and restoration: "In a very short time, will not Lebanon become a fertile field, and the fertile field seem like a forest?"
Metaphorical Usage: Metaphorically, כַּרְמֶל can represent spiritual or moral fruitfulness. In Isaiah 32:15, the outpouring of the Spirit results in the desert becoming a fertile field, symbolizing spiritual renewal: "until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest."
Geographical Reference: The term is also associated with Mount Carmel, a significant location in biblical history known for its lush vegetation and as the site of Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18).
Symbol of Abundance: In Jeremiah 2:7, God speaks of bringing Israel into a fertile land (כַּרְמֶל) to enjoy its bounty, highlighting the land's richness and the people's ingratitude: "I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and bounty. But you came and defiled My land; you made My inheritance detestable."
