Who he was
Carmi was the son of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel (or 'Jacob') (Genesis 46:9; Exodus 6:14; 1 Chronicles 5:3). He was the progenitor of the Carmite clan within the tribe of Reuben (Numbers 26:6). The Carmites were one of the families descended from Reuben, as recorded in the census taken in the wilderness of Sinai and the plains of Moab. Carmi's inclusion in the genealogies of Reuben highlights the importance of family lineage and the organization of the Israelite tribes according to their ancestral heritage.
