Carmel in Song of Solomon 7
KAR-mul
This place shows up in Song of Solomon 7:5: “Your head on you is like Carmel. The hair of your head like purple. The king is held captive in its tresses.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Song of Solomon 7:5
“Your head on you is like Carmel. The hair of your head like purple. The king is held captive in its tresses.”
