to the earthling

Rootאדם (ʾ-d-m)
Core Meaningsredness, ruddy color, earthiness, human being, humankind
Semantic Rangea man, a human individual, humanity collectively, mankind, a person of low or common status, the archetypal human (Adam).
Conceptual Significanceאָדָם expresses the biblical view of humanity as formed from and bound to the earth, highlighting both dignity (as the image-bearer of Elohim) and mortality. It can denote the individual, the species, or the representative first human, shaping biblical anthropology and covenantal theology.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לָ) + noun אָדָם; common masculine singular absolute. Strong’s H120.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָדָם (masculine singular) denotes a human being, rooted in the idea of redness and earthiness, linking humanity to the ground (אֲדָמָה). The prefixed לָ combines the preposition ל ("to/for") with the definite article, yielding "to the." The rendering "to the earthling" preserves both the definite masculine singular form and the word’s earthy, root-based sense.
