Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root כַּרְמֶל (Karmel), which refers to a fruitful or fertile place, often associated with Mount Carmel. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the term "Karmelitess" in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical identity. However, the concept of identifying individuals by their place of origin is present in the Greek New Testament, such as in the use of terms like "Nazarene" (Ναζωραῖος, Strong's Greek 3480) to describe someone from Nazareth. Usage: The term "Karmelitess" is used to denote a woman from the region of Carmel. It is a proper noun used to identify a female by her geographical origin. Context: The term כַּרְמְלִית (Karmelitess) is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a woman from the region of Carmel. Carmel is a significant location in biblical history, known for its lush and fertile landscape. It is often associated with the prophet Elijah and the confrontation with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18). The term "Karmelitess" would thus identify a woman as being from this notable region, which is situated in the northern part of ancient Israel, near the Mediterranean Sea. The use of this term highlights the importance of geographical identity in biblical times, where one's place of origin often carried social and cultural significance.
