Hebrew and Greek words used in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures


Hebrew: adam

 

 

Note: Strong's Hebrew 120 and Hebrew 121 represent the same Hebrew word. James Strong simply added Hebrew 121 to distinguish between what he believed were the proper name use of the word, as Adam, and the generic use of the same word, as man or person. In Hebrew there is no capitalization to distinguish them, and Bible versions differ as to which occurrences in Gen 2 and 3 are translated as "man" and which are translated as "Adam." To further explore the use of the Hebrew word adam in Gen 1:26, 27; Gen 2 and 3; and the rest of the Hebrew Old Testament, browse http://www.bibletexts.com/terms/heb-adam.htm.)
