Adam
a city on the Jordan, “beside Zaretan,” in the time of Joshua. (Joshua 3:16)
Man, generically, for the name Adam was not confined to the father of the human race, but like
homo was applicable to woman as well as to man. (Genesis 5:2)
(red earth), the name given in Scripture to the first man. It apparently has reference to the ground
from which he was formed, which is called in Hebrew Adamah. The idea of redness of color seems
to be inherent in either word. The creation of man was the work of the sixth day—the last and
crowning act of creation. Adam was created (not born) a perfect man in body and spirit, but as
innocent and completely inexperienced as a child. The man Adam was placed in a garden which
the Lord God had planted “eastward in Eden,” for the purpose of dressing it and keeping it. [Eden]
Adam was permitted to eat of the fruit of every tree in the garden but one, which was called (“the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” because it was the test of Adam’s obedience. By it Adam
could know good and evil int he divine way, through obedience; thus knowing good by experience
in resisting temptation and forming a strong and holy character, while he knew evil only by
observation and inference. Or he could “know good and evil,” in Satan’s way, be experiencing the
evil and knowing good only by contrast. -ED.) The prohibition to taste the fruit of this tree was
enforced by the menace of death. There was also another tree which was called “the tree of life.”
While Adam was in the garden of Eden, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air were brought
to him to be named. After this the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon him, and took one of
his ribs from him, which he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man. At this time they
were both described as being naked without the consciousness of shame. By the subtlety of the
serpent the woman who was given to be with Adam was beguiled into a violation of the one
