<p> (Hebrews Kilmad´ כַּלְמִר '','' etymology unknown; Sept. Χαρμάν v. r. Χαλμάν and Χαλμάβ; Vulg. ''Chelmad),'' an Asiatic place or country mentioned, in conjunction with Sheba and Asshur, as a trading emporium with the Tyrians (&nbsp;Ezekiel 27:23). The only name bearing any similarity to it is ''Charmande'' (Χαρμάνδη )'','' a "large and flourishing" town near the Euphrates, between the Mascas and the [[Babylonian]] frontier (Xen. ''Anab.'' 1:5, 10; comp. Steph. Byz. p. 754), an identification generally adopted since Bochart (Canaan, 1:18, p. 480). Hitzig (Comment. on Ezekiel 1. c.) proposes to alter the punctuation to כְּלַמֻּר ''',''' ''Ke-limmud´,'' giving the sense "Asshur was ''as'' thy ''pupil'' in commerce," as first suggested by Kimchi (in loc.). The Chaldee [[Targum]] has מָרִי, ''Media.'' For other conjectures, see Rosenmü ller in loc. (See Chaldaea) p. 198. </p>

<p> '''''kil´mad''''' ( כּלמד , <i> '''''kilmadh''''' </i> ; Χαρμάν , <i> '''''Charmán''''' </i> ): [[A]] city or district mentioned after Sheba and Asshur as supplying merchandise to [[Tyre]] (&nbsp;Ezekiel 27:23 ). By changing "m" into "w" (common in Assyrian-Babylonian) this has been compared with <i> '''''Kalwādha''''' </i> near [[Bagdad]] [[(G.]] Smith, Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology, [[I,]] 61; Delitzsch, <i> Paradies </i> , 206), but the identification seems improbable. Though regarded as the name of a country in the [[Septuagint]] and the [[Vulgate]] (Jerome's <i> Latin Bible </i> , 390-405 ad) ( <i> '''''Charman''''' </i> ; <i> '''''Chelmad''''' </i> ), there is some doubt whether this view of the word is correct. The Targum substitutes <i> '''''Madhai''''' </i> , "Media," and on this account Mez (Stadt <i> Harran </i> , 24) amends to <i> '''''Kōl Madhai''''' </i> , "all Media." The absence of the copula "and" has caused others to further modify the vocalization, and by reading <i> '''''kelimmūdh''''' </i> instead of Chilmad, the sense "Asshur was as the apprentice of thy trading" ('''''Ḳimḥi''''' , Hitzig, Cornill) is obtained, but is not satisfactory. Probably both text and translation are susceptible of improvement. </p>
