but by a human (earthling)
| Root | אדם (ʾ-d-m) |
| Core Meanings | redness, ruddy appearance, human being, earthling |
| Semantic Range | an individual man, humanity collectively, humankind, a person of low degree, a generic human in contrast to God |
| Conceptual Significance | אָדָם highlights human frailty and earth-derived nature in contrast to the divine. It recalls humanity’s formation from the ground and often underscores mortality, limitation, or solidarity within the human family. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition בְ + noun אָדָם; common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). No article; indefinite sense, "a human/man." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָדָם is a masculine singular absolute meaning a human being, derived from the root אדם associated with redness and the ground (אֲדָמָה). The rendering "human (earthling)" preserves this earthy, creaturely nuance, while "but by" reflects the conjunction וּ and the preposition בְ governing a masculine singular noun. |
