Berean Strong's Lexicon Adam: Adam Original Word: Ἀδάμ 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.
