Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root אָדַם (adam), meaning "to be red" or "ruddy," often associated with the color of human skin or the earth. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G435 (ἀνήρ, anēr): Refers to a man, particularly in the sense of an adult male or husband. • G444 (ἄνθρωπος, anthrōpos): A general term for a human being, encompassing both men and women, similar to אָדָם in its broad usage. • G1538 (ἕκαστος, hekastos): Meaning "each" or "every," often used in contexts referring to individuals within a group. • G2349 (θνητός, thnētos): Meaning "mortal," highlighting the human condition of mortality, akin to the frailty associated with אָדָם. • G2992 (λαός, laos): Refers to a people or nation, often used in the context of a collective group, similar to the collective sense of humanity in אָדָם. This lexical entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term אָדָם, its origins, meanings, and usage within the biblical text, as well as its Greek counterparts in the New Testament. Usage: The term אָדָם is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to refer to human beings collectively or individually. It is often translated as "man," "mankind," or "humanity" in English translations. In some contexts, it specifically refers to the first man, Adam, as in the creation narrative. Context: • General Usage: The word אָדָם is used in a variety of contexts in the Hebrew Bible. It can refer to humanity in general, as seen in Genesis 1:26-27, where God creates man in His own image. It is also used to describe the frailty and mortality of human beings, as in Job 14:1, "Man, who is born of woman, is short of days and full of trouble." • Specific Reference to Adam: In the Genesis creation narrative, אָדָם is used to refer to the first human, Adam, who is formed from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7). Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden and given the responsibility to tend it. The narrative describes Adam's role in the naming of animals and the creation of Eve as his companion (Genesis 2:18-23). • Theological Significance: The use of אָדָם in the Hebrew Bible underscores the unique position of humans in creation, being made in the image of God and given dominion over the earth. The term also highlights the shared nature of humanity, emphasizing common origin and destiny. • Symbolic Meaning: The connection between אָדָם and the earth (אֲדָמָה, adamah) is significant, symbolizing the relationship between humans and the created world. This connection is evident in the narrative of the Fall, where Adam's disobedience leads to a curse upon the ground (Genesis 3:17-19).
