"Adam Adam (; ; ; ) is the name used in the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis and in the Quran for the first man created by God, but it is also used in a collective sense as ""mankind"" and individually as ""a human"". Biblical Adam (man, mankind) is created from ""adamah"" (earth), and Genesis 1-8 makes considerable play of the bond between them, for Adam is estranged from the earth through his disobedience. The majority view among scholars is that the book of Genesis dates from the Persian Empire (the 5th and 4th centuries BCE), but the"
"Manasses Manasses or Manasseh (; ""Mənaše"") is a biblical Hebrew name for men. It is the given name of seven people of the Bible, the name of a tribe of Israel, and the name of one of the apocryphal writings. The name is also used in the modern world. Manasses was the eldest son of Joseph and the Egyptian Asenath (Genesis 41:50-51; 46:20). The name means ""he that causes to forget""; Joseph assigned the reason for its bestowal: ""God hath made me to forget all my toils, and my father's house"" (Genesis 41:51). Jacob blessed Manasses (Genesis 48); but gave"

According to Christianity, he is part of the Genealogy of Jesus as mentioned in . Additionally, Enos is also mentioned in Islam in the various collections of tales of the pre-Islamic prophets, which honor him in an identical manner. Furthermore, early Islamic historians like Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Hisham always included his name in"
"the new world is as sinful as the old, God has resolved never again to destroy the world by flood, and the History ends with Terah, the father of Abraham, from whom will descend God's chosen people, the Israelites. Adam and Eve are the Bible's first man and first woman. Adam's name appears first in Genesis 1 with a collective sense, as ""mankind""; subsequently in Genesis 2-3 it carries the definite article ""ha"", equivalent to English ""the"", indicating that this is ""the man"". In these chapters God fashions ""the man"" (""ha adam"") from earth (""adamah""), breathes life into his nostrils,"

In Genesis 2:18–22, the woman is created to be ""ezer ki-negdo"", a term that is notably difficult to translate, to the man. ""Ki-negdo"" means ""alongside, opposite, a counterpart to him"", and ""ezer"" means active intervention on behalf of the other person.

In Genesis 1:27 ""adam"" is used in the collective sense, and the interplay between the individual ""Adam"" and the collective ""humankind"" is a main literary component to the events that occur in the Garden of Eden, the ambiguous meanings embedded throughout the moral, sexual, and spiritual terms of the narrative reflecting the complexity of the human condition. Genesis 2:7 is the first verse where ""Adam"""

"Adam in rabbinic literature Allusions in rabbinic literature to the Biblical figure Adam, created according to the Book of Genesis by God in the Garden of Eden as the first man, expand and elaborate and draw inferences from what is presented in the text of the Bible itself. While the generic character that the name of Adam has in the older parts of Scripture, where it appears with the article (""the man""), was gradually lost sight of, his typical character as the representative of the unity of mankind was constantly emphasized (compare Talmud tractate Sanhedrin iv. 5; the correct reading"

It can be divided into two parts, the Primeval history (chapters 1–11) and the Ancestral history (chapters 12–50). The primeval history sets out the author's (or authors') concepts of the nature of the deity and of humankind's relationship with its maker: God creates a world which is good and fit for mankind, but when man corrupts it with sin God"
"name ""Haran"" possibly comes from the Hebrew word ""har"", = ""mountain"", with a West Semitic suffix appearing with proper names, ""anu/i/a"". Thus, it has been suggested that ""Haran"" may mean ""mountaineer"". Personal names which resemble ""Haran"" include ""ha-ri"" and ""ha-ru"", from texts of second millennium BC Mari and Alalakh, and ""ha-ar-ri"", from one of the Amarna Letters—but their meanings are uncertain. The initial element of ""Haran"" can be found in the Phoenician personal name ""hr-b`l"", and also in the Israelite personal name ""hryhw"" from Gibeon.

There are four ""commonly espoused"" views concerning authorship and dating of the Epistle of James: The writer refers to himself only as ""James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ."" As many as six different men in the Bible are named James.

This is recounted in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 16, which according to Roman Catholic teaching was when Jesus promised to Saint Peter the power to take binding actions. Throughout the Bible, characters are given names at birth that reflect something of significance or describe the course of their lives. For example: ""Solomon"" meant peace, and the king with that name was the first whose reign was without war. Likewise, Joseph named his firstborn son Manasseh (Hebrew: ""causing to forget"")(Genesis 41:51); when Joseph also said, ""“God has made me forget all my troubles and"
"The English name comes from the Latin name ""chronikon"", which was given to the text by scholar Jerome in the 5th century. Chronicles starts with a genealogy from the first human being, Adam, and passes into a biblical narrative of the history of ancient Judah and Israel until the proclamation of King Cyrus the Great (c. 540 BC). The Chronicles narrative begins with Adam and the story is then carried forward, almost entirely by genealogical lists, down to the founding of the first Kingdom of Israel (1 Chronicles 1–9).

"Gospel of Matthew The Gospel According to Matthew (; also called the Gospel of Matthew or simply, Matthew) is the first book of the New Testament and one of the three synoptic gospels. It tells how the Messiah, Jesus, rejected by Israel, finally sends the disciples to preach the gospel to the whole world. Most scholars believe it was composed between AD 80 and 90, with a range of possibility between AD 70 to 110 (a pre-70 date remains a minority view). The anonymous author was probably a male Jew, standing on the margin between traditional and non-traditional Jewish values,"
"Bekhorot Bekhorot (Hebrew: בכורות, “First-borns”) refers to the first-born human, or animal according to the Hebrew Bible in which God commanded Moses in the Book of Exodus to “consecrate to Me every first-born; man and beast, the first issue of every womb among the Israelites is Mine.” It is from this commandment that Judaism forms the foundation of its many traditions and rituals concerning the redemption of the first-born son and ritual slaughter. In addition to several references found in the Hebrew bible, Bekhorot is considered a ""Seder Kodashim"" (Hebrew קדשים), or “Holy Thing” hence it is found under the"

All occurrences of ""Yeshua"" in the Hebrew Bible are in I Chron. 24:11, II Chron. 31:15, Ezra, and Nehemiah where it is transliterated into English as Jeshua. Two of these men (Joshua the son of Nun and Joshua the High Priest) are mentioned in other books of the Hebrew Bible where they are instead called ""Yehoshua"" (transliterated into English as Joshua). The earlier form ""Yehoshua"" did not disappear, however, and remained in use as well."

"Genealogies in the Bible There are various genealogies described in the Bible. The book of Genesis records the descendants of Adam and Eve. The enumerated genealogy in chapters 4, 5 and 11 reports the lineal male descent to Abraham, including the age at which each patriarch fathered his named son and the number of years he lived thereafter. The genealogy for Cain is given in Chapter 4 and the genealogy for Seth is in Chapter 5. The genealogy in chapter 10 recording the male descendants of Noah is known as the ""Table of Nations"".

Matthew begins by calling Jesus ""the son of David"", indicating his royal origin, and also ""son of Abraham"", indicating that he was an Israelite; both are stock phrases, in which ""son"" means ""descendant"", calling to mind the promises God made to David and to Abraham.

It appears in Joshua (8:31–32; 23:6) and Kings (I Kings 2:3; II Kings 14:6; 23:25), but it cannot be said to refer there to the entire corpus (according to academic Bible criticism).
