One of the four principal rivers of Palestine (Yer. Kil. 9:5; Yer. Ket. 12:3; B. B. 74b). Owing to its small tributaries, its water is turbid and consequently unfit for sacrificial use (Parah 8:10; comp. Tos. to B. B. 74b). Schwarz ("Das Heilige Land," p. 31) identifies the Karmion with the Biblical Amana, the modern Baradah; but Neubauer ("G. T." p. 32) supposes that "Ḳarmion" should be amended either into "Ḳadmion," the Talmudic equivalent of "Naḥal Ḳedumim," the Biblical "Kishon" (Judges 5:21), or into "Ḳarsion (Xαρσέον), which also seems to be another name for "Kishon."
