Adam, Seth, Enosh, AdamThe name "Adam" is derived from the Hebrew word "אָדָם" (adam), which means "man" or "mankind." In the biblical context, Adam is the first human created by God, as described in Genesis. His creation marks the beginning of humanity and the unfolding of God's plan for mankind. Adam's life and actions set the stage for the narrative of sin and redemption that permeates the Bible. Theologically, Adam is often seen as a type of Christ, the "last Adam," who brings life and redemption (1 Corinthians 15:45). The mention of Adam in 1 Chronicles 1:1 serves as a reminder of humanity's origins and the divine intention for human life to reflect God's image. Seth Enosh Persons / Places / Events 1.

Though written by the same hand as wrote Ezra-Nehemiah, and forming, together with these books, a continuous history of Judah, it is placed after them in the Hebrew Bible, of which it forms the concluding book; and this no doubt points to the fact that it attained canonical distinction later than they.
