  1. Exodus 6:14 וְכַרְמִ֔י and Carmi

    These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These were the clans of Reuben.

    Here: 'And Carmi', founder of the Carmite clan. The name is related to kerem, 'vineyard'. He is not the Judahite Carmi of Joshua 7:1.

Joshua · 2

  1. Joshua 7:1 כַּרְמִי֩ Carmi

    The Israelites, however, acted unfaithfully regarding the things devoted to destruction. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart. So the anger of the LORD burned against the Israelites.

    Here: Achan's father. The name probably connects to kerem, "vineyard."

    And he had the family of Zabdi come forward man by man, and Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected.

    The son of Carmi: Achar, who brought trouble upon Israel by violating the ban on devoted things.

    Here: Carmi is Achan's father in Joshua 7:1. The previous verse never introduces him, so readers have to fill in from Joshua that he descends from Zerah through Zimri (called Zabdi in Joshua). The name probably comes from kerem, 'vineyard'.
