Strong's Lexicon adam: Man, mankind, human, Adam Original Word: אָדָם Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: adam Pronunciation: ah-DAHM Phonetic Spelling: (aw-dawm') Definition: Man, mankind, human, Adam Meaning: ruddy, a human being Word Origin: Derived from אָדַם (adam), meaning "to be red" or "ruddy," possibly referring to the reddish color of human skin or the earth. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G444 (ἄνθρωπος, anthropos): Man, human, mankind - G76 (Ἀδάμ, Adam): Adam Usage: The Hebrew word 'adam is used in the Bible to refer to humanity in general, as well as the specific individual, Adam, the first man created by God. It encompasses the concept of human beings as a collective group and is often used to denote mankind's earthly origin and nature. In Genesis, 'adam is used to describe both the individual Adam and humanity as a whole, emphasizing the shared nature and destiny of all people. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the creation of humanity was often linked to the earth, as seen in the etymology of 'adam, which is related to 'adamah (earth or ground). This connection underscores the biblical theme of humans being formed from the dust of the ground, as described in Genesis 2:7. The name Adam is significant in the biblical narrative, representing the first human and the progenitor of the human race. The account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is foundational to understanding the biblical perspective on sin, redemption, and the relationship between God and humanity.
