and a human
| Root | אדם (ʾ-d-m) |
| Core Meanings | redness, ruddy appearance, earthiness, humankind |
| Semantic Range | an individual man, a human being, humanity as a class, mankind collectively, a person of low status, humankind in contrast to God |
| Conceptual Significance | אָדָם expresses the shared earthly origin and nature of humanity, linguistically linked to the ground (אֲדָמָה) and redness. It underscores human frailty, universality, and distinction from the divine, forming a foundational term for biblical anthropology. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular absolute noun (Ncmsa), frequently preceded by the conjunction וְ ("and") or preposition בְ ("in/with"). No definite article; grammatically singular and masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָדָם is a common masculine singular absolute, here with a prefixed conjunction ("and"). Rendering it as "a human" preserves its singular masculine form and reflects its core sense of an individual member of humankind, while "and" accounts for the prefixed וְ. The term retains its connection to the root idea of earthiness or ruddy origin. |
