        <p> <strong> CARMI </strong> . <strong> 1 </strong> . A Judahite, the father of [[Achan]] ( Joshua 7:1; Joshua 7:18 , 1 Chronicles 2:7 ). <strong> 2 </strong> . The [[Carmi]] of 1 Chronicles 4:1 should probably be corrected to <strong> [[Chelubai]] </strong> , <em> i.e. </em> [[Caleb]] (cf. 1 Chronicles 2:9; 1 Chronicles 2:18 ). <strong> 3 </strong> . The eponym of a [[Reubenite]] family ( [[Genesis]] 46:9 , Exodus 6:14 , 1 Chronicles 5:3 ), the <strong> Carmites </strong> of Numbers 26:6 . </p>

        <p> 1. Father of Achan, a. descendant of Judah. Joshua 7:1,18; 1 Chronicles 2:7; 1 Chronicles 4:1 . </p> <p> 2. Son of [[Reuben]] and progenitor of the family of the CARMITES. [[Genesis]] 46:9; Exodus 6:14; Numbers 26:6; 1 Chronicles 5:3 . </p>

        <p> Car'mi. (vine dresser). </p> <p> 1. The fourth son of Reuben, the progenitor of the family of the Carmites. [[Genesis]] 46:9; Exodus 6:14; Numbers 26:6; 1 Chronicles 5:3. </p> <p> 2. A man of the tribe of Judah, father of Achan, the "troubler of Israel." Joshua 7:1; Joshua 7:18; 1 Chronicles 2:7; 1 Chronicles 4:1. </p>

        <p> '''''kar´mı̄''''' ( כּרמי , <i> '''''karmı̄''''' </i> , "fruitful," "noble"): </p> <p> (1) A son of [[Reuben]] who came to [[Egypt]] with [[Jacob]] ( [[Genesis]] 46:9; Exodus 6:14; 1 Chronicles 5:3 ). Also the name of a family of which [[Carmi]] was the head ( Numbers 26:6 ). </p> <p> (2) A J udahite ( 1 Chronicles 2:7 ), son of Zabdi, according to Joshua 7:1 , and father of Achan, who is given the name of "Achar" in 1 Chronicles 2:7 . This last form "Achar" is preferred to the usual "Achan" in order to bring out the play on the [[Hebrew]] word for "troubler." The Hebrew runs עכר עוכר ישׂראל , <i> '''''‛ākhār ‛ōkhēr yisrā'ēl''''' </i> , "Achar, the troubler of Israel." As regards the phrase "the sons of Carmi" ( 1 Chronicles 2:7 ), Carmi is probably to be taken as the son of [[Zimri]] (= Zabdi, Joshua 7:1 ). The Targum, however, has "Carmi who is Zimri." The [[Septuagint]] identifies Zimri and Zabdi. </p> <p> (3) In 1 Chronicles 4:1 , Carmi, elsewhere called son of [[Zabdi]] or Zimri, is made son of Judah; but Wellhausen correctly changes "Carmi" to "Chelubai" (compare 1 Chronicles 2:9 ). </p>

        <p> (Hebrews Karmi ´, כִּרְמִי , vine-dresser, otherwise noble; Sept. Χαρμί, but Χαρμεί in Exodus 6:14), the name of three men. </p> <p> 1. The last named of the four sons of [[Reuben]] ( [[Genesis]] 46:9; Exodus 6:14). B.C. 1872. His descendants were called after him CARMITES ( Numbers 26:6). </p> <p> 2. A son of [[Hezron]] (Judah's grandson), and father of Hur ( 1 Chronicles 4:1); elsewhere called CALEB (2:18) or CHELUBAI (2:9). B.C. post 1856. </p> <p> 3. The son of [[Zimri]] or Zabdi, and father of the traitor [[Achan]] ( Joshua 7:1; 1 Chronicles 2:7). B.C. ante 1618. Some have erroneously identified him with the preceding; but the names in 1 Chronicles 4:2, are evidently in direct succession of father and son from Judah. </p>
