However, concepts related to fortresses or strongholds in Greek might be explored through terms like "πύργος" (pyrgos • tower) or "φρούριον" (phourion • fortress), though these are not direct translations of הַרְמוֹן. Usage: The term הַרְמוֹן (Harmon) is used in the context of a fortified place or stronghold. It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a reference to a location associated with strength and protection. Context: • The term הַרְמוֹן (Harmon) is found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Amos. In Amos 4:3, the prophet Amos delivers a message of judgment against the people of Israel, indicating that they will be taken away with hooks and cast out toward Harmon. The context suggests a place of exile or a distant location, possibly a fortress or a high place. The exact identification of Harmon is uncertain, and it may refer to a specific geographical location known to the original audience or serve as a symbolic representation of a place of captivity or judgment. • The use of the term in Amos highlights the theme of divine judgment and the consequences of Israel's disobedience. The imagery of being taken away to Harmon underscores the severity of the impending punishment and the loss of security and stability for the people.
