Original Word: Ἀδάμ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Indeclinable
Transliteration: Adam
Pronunciation: ah-DAHM
Phonetic Spelling: (ad-am')
Definition: Adam
Meaning: Adam, the first man, the first parent of the human race.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew אָדָם (Strong's Hebrew 121)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 121: אָדָם (Adam) - Refers to the first man, humanity, or mankind in general.

Usage: In the New Testament, the Greek word Ἀδάμ refers to the first human created by God, as described in the Genesis account. Adam is often used to represent humanity as a whole, particularly in theological discussions about sin and redemption. The name "Adam" is also used to draw parallels between the first man and Jesus Christ, who is sometimes referred to as the "last Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:45).

Cultural and Historical Background: Adam is a central figure in the Judeo-Christian creation narrative. According to Genesis, Adam was formed by God from the dust of the ground and given life through God's breath. He was placed in the Garden of Eden to tend it and was given dominion over all living creatures. Adam's disobedience in eating the forbidden fruit led to the fall of man, introducing sin and death into the world. This narrative has been foundational in shaping Christian doctrines of original sin and the need for salvation through Jesus Christ.

STRONGS NT 76: Ἀδάμ

Ἀδάμ, indeclinable proper name (but in Josephus, Ἄδαμος, ), אָדָם (i. e. according to Philo, de leg. alleg. 1:29, Works, i., p. 62, Mang. edition, γήϊνος; according to Eusebius, Prep. Ev. 7:8 γηγενής; according to Josephus, Antiquities 1, 1, 2 πυρρός, with which Gesenius agrees, see his Thesaurus i., p. 25);

1. Adam, the first man and the parent of the whole human race: Luke 3:38; Romans 5:14; 1 Corinthians 15:22, 45; 1 Timothy 2:13; Jude 1:14. In accordance with the rabbinic distinction between the former Adam (הָרִאשׁון אָדָם), the first man, the author of 'all our woe,' and the latter Adam (הָאַחֲרון אָדָם), the Messiah, the redeemer, in 1 Corinthians 15:45 Jesus Christ is called ἔσχατος Ἀδάμ (see ἔσχατος, 1) and contrasted with πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος; Romans 5:14 μέλλων namely, Ἀδάμ.

2. one of the ancestors of Jesus: Luke 3:33 WH marginal reading (cf. Ἀδμείν).
