Strong's Lexicon Harmon: Harmon Original Word: הַרְמוֹן Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: harmown Pronunciation: har-MONE Phonetic Spelling: (har-mone') Definition: Harmon Meaning: a castle Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root הר (har), meaning "mountain" or "hill." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Harmon" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: The term "Harmon" is used in the Bible as a place name. It is mentioned in the context of judgment and destruction, specifically in the book of Amos. The name itself suggests a mountainous or elevated region, which is consistent with many biblical place names that incorporate the root "har." Cultural and Historical Background: The mention of Harmon in the Bible is sparse, and its exact historical and geographical location remains uncertain. It is often associated with regions of judgment or places where significant events occurred. In the ancient Near Eastern context, mountains were often seen as places of divine encounter or judgment, which may inform the symbolic use of the name Harmon in the biblical text.
