Adam. According to the Biblical story, the first human being. In Genesis there are two accounts of his creation. In 1: 26–31, he was created on the sixth day, made in the image and likeness of God, commanded to multiply, and given dominion over the earth. Gen. 2: 5–7 assigns his creation to the time when the earth was still void.
Eve, we are told, was created from Adam's rib. When they had disobeyed God's command by eating the forbidden fruit (the
Fall), they were expelled from the Garden of Eden, and on Adam was imposed toilsome labour and on Eve the pains of childbirth. Traditional theology has utilized the Scriptural statements about Adam in its doctrine of man and his relation to God. See
SECOND ADAM.
