Adam and Eve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adam ("Earth" or "Man", Standard Hebrew ?????, Adam; "Soil" or "Light Brown", Arabic ???, Adam, ??? (Adam) in Geez); and Eve (living one or life, Standard Hebrew ??????, Arabic ????, ?avva Hawwa, ???? (Hiywan) in Geez) were the first man and woman created by God according to the Bible and the Quran.

The story is told in the Torah's book of Genesis, chapters 2 and 3, with some additional elements in chapters 4 and 5. The main story elements are the creation of man and woman; the temptation and the Fall; the expulsion from Eden; and the subsequent peopling of the world outside the Garden of Eden. The narrative underwent extensive elaboration in later Abrahamic traditions, and modern textual scholarship continues to analyse the story's many layers, identifying, for example, parallels with Sumerian mythology. The story has provided many of the most important symbols in Western culture, including the Tree of Knowledge, the forbidden fruit, and the serpent as Satan, and has originated or reinforced some cultural ideas including the doctrine of original sin and the subordination of women in many Christian denominations, especially in past centuries.

Textual analysis
[edit]

Documentary hypothesis

The documentary hypothesis is a theory proposed by many historians and academics in the fields of linguistics and source criticism that the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, the Jewish Torah, are a combination of documents from different sources rather than authored by one individual. It had its origin in the interpretation that these five books contained many inconsistencies and apparent contradictions; they interpreted, for example, that Genesis 1 says man was created after the plants and animals, while Genesis 2 places the creation of man before the plants and animals.[1] The modern version of the hypothesis is that the chapters of Genesis which contain the Adam and Eve story are drawn from two originally separate texts or groups of texts, the Priestly source (sometimes also called the Ellohyst source) and the Jahwist source.

The Priestly source is responsible for chapter 1 and the first four verses of chapter 2,[2] while the Jahwist provides the bulk of chapters 2 to 4.[3] Despite coming first in Genesis, the Priestly (or "P") source is the more recent of the two. "Recent" in this context is purely a relative term: P is believed to have been composed at some period between the fall of the kingdom of Israel to the Assyrians in 722 BC, and the final conquest of Judah by the Babylonians in 586 BC, with a high probability of a date during the reign of king Josiah of Judah in the late 7th century BC. The Jahwist, or "J" source, is believed to have been composed in the kingdom of Judah before the fall of Israel (i.e., before 722 BC), but not before the late 8th century.

A separate source, the Book of Generations,[4] provides chapter 5 and a brief linking phrase at Genesis 2:5. As the name indicates, this source is concerned exclusively with lists of names, in the form X begat Y. It is believed to be older than both J and P, and appears to have existed in various editions. Differences between these editions can be traced in confusions in the biblical genealogies; for example, chapter 4:17 to 18 and chapter 5:3 to 26 are apparently giving the same information, but the father of Lamech is named Methusael in chapter 4 and Methuselah in chapter 5. (Lamech was fathered by Methusael through Cain and Methusela through Seth. There is no contradictions between chapter 4:17-19 and 5:3-26.)

The "Generations of Adam," as Genesis 5 is called, uses a form of words implying the creation of more than a single man and woman: "Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created."[5] The P source uses similar language: "God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."[6] Only J has an unambiguous single male and female. J (chapter 2) begins in the same way as the other two sources, with God taking "adamah" (dust) and fashioning "adam", the word translated as "man" in Genesis 1 and Genesis 5. Only towards the end of chapter 2, when the first humans are about to be expelled from the Garden, does J cease referring to "man" and start writing about "the man". In Jewish belief of the time of Christ this was taken as signifying a personal name, Adam, and this tradition was adopted into Christianity.

Only J has a separate name for Adam's companion, traditionally written as "Eve" in English, from Hebrew “chavva,” meaning simply living one, or life.
[edit]

In Sumerian myth the senior gods spent their time in leisure, while the junior gods laboured at digging the channels of the rivers and other tasks. Eventually the junior gods rebelled and threatened to overturn the heavenly order. The senior god Enki therefore fashioned the first men from clay, mixed with spittle and the blood of a slain god, so that men could work and the gods could rest. Originally Enki made seven men and seven women, but the numbers of mankind soon multiplied.

In another Sumerian myth the goddess Ninhursag created a beautiful garden full of lush vegetation and fruit trees, called Edinu, in Dilman, the Sumerian earthly Paradise, a place which the Sumerians believed to exist to the east of their own land, beyond the sea. Ninhursag charged Enki, her lover, with controlling the wild animals and tending the garden, but Enki became curious about the garden and his assistant, Adapa, selected seven plants and offered them to Enki, who ate them. (In other versions of the story he seduced in turn seven generations of the offspring of his divine marriage with Ninhursag). This enranged Ninhursag, and she caused Enki to fall ill. Enki felt pain in his rib, which is a pun in Sumerian, as the word "ti" means both "rib" and "life. The other gods persuaded Ninhursag to relent. Ninhursag then created a new goddess named Ninti, (a name made up of "Nin", or "lady", plus "ti", and which can be translated as both Lady of Living and Lady of the Rib), to cure Enki. Ninhursag is known as mother of all living creatures, and thus holds the same position as Eve. The story has a clear parallel with Eve's creation from Adam's rib, but given that the pun with rib is present only in Sumerian, linguistic criticism places the Sumerian account as the more ancient.

By the Babylonian era, Enki's place was taken by Adapa Uan (the Oannes of Berossus), a human created by Enki as advisor to the first king of Enki's city of Eridu. A 14th century BC tablet refers to Adapa as the seed of humankind. One myth recounts that Adapa broke the wings of the wind in anger at being disturbed while fishing, and was called to the heavens to answer for doing so. He was warned by Enki to apologise for his actions, but not to touch the food, in case it had been poisoned in revenge. The gods, impressed by his penitence, set the food and drink of immortality before him, but Adapa heeded Enki's warning and refused the food, thus missing out on immortality. The god who offered the food and drink of immortality was the wily serpent-god Ningishzida. In the Biblical account the serpent offers knowledge, but he also says to Eve that she shall not die.

As the food and drink of the gods originated on earth, somewhere on earth must lie the source of the food and drink of immortality, a Tree of Life. In the biblical account the food is consumed, not rejected, and the couple are punished by being expelled from the garden. Thus any derivation of the biblical account from Sumerian and Babylonian mythology involves the confusion of the tales of Adapa and Enki. Such a conflation may have been influenced by a story preserved in the prologue of Gilgamesh, Enkidu and the Underworld. In this tale, the goddess Inanna, who gains knowledge of sex by descending to earth and eating from various plants and fruits, transplants the huluppu tree from the Euphrates to her own garden, but a wicked serpent made its nest amongst the roots of the tree. This tale connects the serpent to the garden, and with the presence of Inanna, the theme of lust. Moving the story of Enki's rib to the start of the Biblical story would allow the failure to gain immortality to be seen as punishment for eating the fruit.
[edit]

Creation of Eve

Despite popular belief to the contrary, men and women have the same number of ribs (twelve pairs). The misconception that they do not is probably due to the verse at Genesis 2:20, "[T]he Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and brought her to the man."

If this verse was not attempting to explain a non-existent difference between males and females, what was it trying to do? One theory is based on the Sumerian myth of Ninhursag and Enki. Ninhursag was angry with Enki and caused him to fall ill. Enki felt pain in his rib "ti", which in Sumerian means both "rib" and "life", and began to die. Ninhursag relented, and created a new goddess named Ninti, ("Nin", or "lady", plus "ti"), which can be translated as both Lady of Living and Lady of the Rib, to cure Enki. Given that the pun of "life" with "rib" is present only in Sumerian, this hypothesis, based on linguistic criticism, places the Sumerian account as the more ancient.[7]
[edit]

Later Abrahamic traditions

In the Sibylline Oracles, the name Adam is explained as a notaricon composed of the initials of the four directions; anatole (east), dusis (west), arktos (north), and mesembria (south). The Jews had their own acrostic interpretation of the name Adam. In the 2nd century CE, Rabbi Yohanan used the Greek technique of notarichon to explain the name ????? as the initials of the words afer, dam, and marah, being dust, blood, and gall.

According to the Torah (Genesis 2:7), Adam is said to have been formed by God from "dust from the earth"; in the Talmud (Tractate Sanhedrin 38b) of the first centuries of the Christian era he is, more specifically, described as having initially been a golem kneaded from mud. (cf Prometheus) In the Torah, God is described, at Genesis 1:26, as breathing the breath of life into the nostrils of the first man, and this is usually interpreted in Judaeo-Christian circles as having brought life immediately to the first man.

At this point, in the Torah, God is described as causing a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and removing part of his body, usually interpreted as a rib (though a more literal translation is non-specific, referring to "side"). Once a matron asked Rabbi José (Talmud [citation needed]), "Why did God steal a rib from Adam?" "Steal?" replied the Sage. "If one were to take away from your house an ounce of silver, and give you in return a pound of gold, that would not be stealing from you." "But," persisted the matron, "what need was there for secrecy?" "It was surely better," replied R. José, "to present Eve to Adam when she was quite presentable, and when no traces of the effects of the operation were visible"[2].

Even in ancient times, the presence of two distinct accounts was noted, and regarded with some curiosity. The first account says male and female [God] created them, which has been assumed by critical scholars to imply simultaneous creation, whereas the second account states that God created Eve from Adam's rib because Adam was lonely. Thus to resolve this apparent discrepancy, mediaeval rabbis suggested that Eve and the woman of the first account were two separate individuals.

Preserved in the Midrash, and the mediaeval Alphabet of Ben Sira, this rabbinic tradition held that the first woman refused to take the submissive position to Adam in sex, and eventually fled from him, consequently leaving him lonely. This first woman was identified in the Midrash as Lilith, a figure elsewhere described as a night demon.

The word liyliyth can also mean "screech owl", as it is translated in the King James Version of Isaiah 34:14, although some scholars take this to be a reference to the same demonic entity as mentioned in the Talmud.

In the Talmud, Adam is said to have separated from Eve for 130 years, during which time his ejaculations gave rise to ghouls, and demons. Elsewhere in the Talmud, Lilith is identified as the mother of these creatures. The demons were said to prey on newborn males before they had been circumcised, and so a tradition arose in which a protective amulet was placed around the neck of newborns. Traditions in the Midrash concerning Lilith, and her sexual appetite, have been compared to Sumerian mythology concerning the demon ki-sikil-lil-la-ke, by scholars who postulate an intermediate Akkadian folk etymology interpreting the lil-la-ke portion of the name as a corruption of lîlîtu, literally meaning female night demon.

The Alphabet of Ben Sira Midrash goes even further and identifies a third wife, created after Lilith deserted Adam, but before Eve. This unnamed wife was purportedly made in the same way as Adam, from the "dust of the earth", but the sight of her being created proved too much for Adam to take and he refused to go near her. It is also said that she was created from nothing at all, and that God created into being a skeleton, then organs, and then flesh. The Midrash tells that Adam saw her as "full of blood and secretions," suggesting that he witnessed her creation and was horrified at seeing a body from the inside out. Ben Sira does not record this wife's fate. She was never named, and it assumed that she was allowed to leave the Garden a perpetual virgin, or was ultimately destroyed by God in favor of Eve, who was created when Adam was asleep and oblivious. It should be noted here, that both Lilith and the Second Wife are free from any curse of the Tree of Knowledge, as they left long before the event occurred.

Genesis does not tell for how long Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, but the Book of Jubilees states that they were removed from the garden on the new moon of the fourth month of the 8th year after creation (Jubilees 3:33); other Jewish sources assert that it was less than a day. Shortly after their expulsion, Eve brought forth her first-born child, and thereafter their second — Cain and Abel, respectively.

Another Jewish tradition---also used to explain "male and female He created them" line, is that God originally created Adam as a hermaphrodite[Midrash Rabbah - Genesis VIII:1] [citation needed], and in this way was bodily and spiritually male and female. He later decided that "it is not good for [Adam] to be alone," and created the separate beings of Adam and Eve, thus creating the idea of two people joining together to achieve a union of the two separate spirits.

Only three of Adam's children (Cain, Abel, and Seth) are explicitly named in Genesis, although it does state that there were other sons and daughters as well (Genesis 5:4). In Jubilees, two daughters are named - Azûrâ being the first, and Awân, who was born after Seth, Cain, Abel, nine other sons, and Azûrâ. Jubilees goes on to state that Cain later married Awân and Seth married Azûrâ, thus, accounting for their descendants. However, according to Genesis Rabba and other later sources, either Cain had a twin sister, and Abel had two twin sisters, or Cain had a twin sister named Lebuda, and Abel a twin sister named Qelimath. In the Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan, Cain's twin sister is named Luluwa, and Abel's twin sister is named Aklia.

Other pseudepigrapha give further details of their life outside of Eden, in particular, the Life of Adam and Eve (also known as the Apocalypse of Moses) consists entirely of a description of their life outside Eden. As the first man, Adam was traditionally a significant figure to whom was attributed prophecy and wisdom.

After Cain killed Abel, and was cursed to wander, Adam and Eve conceived a third child named Seth, who, with Cain, gave rise to the two family lines of the Generations of Adam.

According to the Bible, Adam finally died at the age of 930 years, the traditional Jewish view being that he and Eve are currently buried in the Cave of Machpelah, in Hebron.
[edit]

Christianity

Some branches of Christianity fully accept the tradition of Adam and Eve as portrayed in the Bible, and although some hold various views expressed in the Pseudepigrapha, they do not accept the later Jewish Midrash.

The story of Adam and Eve forms the basis for the doctrine of original sin, a doctrine that is held as true by many branches of Christianity, but is not shared by the Orthodox [8] or Congregationalist churches, nor by Judaism[citation needed] nor The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "Sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned," said St Paul in his Epistle to the Romans, writing in Greek about 58 AD.[9] St Paul was not being true to the Hebrew of Genesis, which nowhere mentions the words "sin" and which does not say that Adam was punished with death. (Adam's transgression in Genesis 3 is disobedience, not sin, and he is expelled from Eden not in order to die, but so that he may not eat of the Tree of Life and become immortal).[10] St Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD), working with a Latin mistranslation of the epistle, understood Paul to have said that Adam's sin was hereditary: "Death passed upon (i.e. spread to) all men because of Adam, [in whom] all sinned".[11] Original sin, the concept that man is born in a condition of sinfulness and must await redemption, while founded on a forced reading of Genesis followed by an exegesis based on a mistranslation, nevertheless became a cornerstone of Christian theological tradition, primarily in Western-rite churches.

Over the centuries, a system of uniquely Christian beliefs has developed from the Adam and Eve story. Baptism, which predates Christianity has become understood as a means of washing away the stain of hereditary sin in some churches. In other branches of Christianity, baptism is a means of washing away sins that were actually commited by the person being baptised. It is an identification with the death, burrial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a ceremony of spiritually washing one in the blood of the Savior, which was shed on the cross. In still other Christian traditions, this process is merely seen as a symbol of faith and also an initiation, or a public declaration of faith.[12] Additionally, the serpent that tempted Eve was interpreted by some to have been Satan, although there is no mention of this identification in the Torah. In fact, Genesis does not even hint at any of these readings, and their observance by many Christians has marked the religion's radical break from its parent.

Because Eve had tempted Adam to eat of the fatal fruit, some early Fathers of the Church held her and all subsequent women to be the first sinners, and especially responsible for the Fall. "You are the devil's gateway," Tertullian told his female listeners in the early 2nd century, and went on to explain that they were responsible for the death of Christ: "On account of your desert _ that is, death - even the Son of God had to die."[13] In 1486 the Dominicans Kramer and Sprengler used similar tracts to justify the Malleus Maleficarum ("Hammer of the Witches") that led to three centuries of persecution of "witches".

Eastern Orthodox tradition holds that the sword placed at the entrance to Paradise to prevent humankind from returning to the Garden was removed once Jesus was born.

[edit]

Gnostic and Manichaean traditions

While the Gnostics used scriptural texts as teaching devices, rather than viewing them to be literal accounts genuinely written by early patriarchs, this was the converse of what was true of what became official Christianity. The Gnostic's Nag Hamadi text "Apocalypse of Adam", for instance contains the account of the enlightenment Adam received, for which certain angels became jealous. The "Testament of Adam", for example takes a further step to produce a faked ancient prophecy, of events that had supposedly already occurred by the time it was published.

In certain forms of Christian Gnosticism the creation of Adam as Protanthropos - the original man, had a very important place. The Apocalypse of Adam suggests that Adam and Eve were originally conjoined in a single androgynous being both male and female and greater than the eternal angels and higher than Samael, the God of the Aeon and Powers that had created them. This seems to be what Irenaeus (I, xxix, 3) refers to when he states that the Aeon Autogenes (self-created Aeon) creates a true and perfect human Anthrôpos, also called Adamas, who has "Perfect Knowledge. In wrath of Samael, the God of the Aeon then separated Adam from Eve, causing their superior knowledge of God to flee from them.

The Perfection of the Protanthropos is also sometimes seen as a result of a non material emanation from God, called the Son of God and seen as the prefigurement for the appearance of Jesus, who, even in Conventional Christian literature is often referred to as "The Second Adam". According to the Naassenes it is only when Adam and Eve are separated that they "sink" into material form. The Genesis verse, that "according to the image of God he made them, male and female he made them", implied that the first account of the creation of man and woman, according to Theodotus (c.160 CE), that both man and God were anthropogynous beings, later separated by God, the Father/Mother. As Pagels shows "The followers of Valentinus suggested that the Mother herself had encouraged the God of Israel to think he was acting autonomously, but as they explain, "It was because he was foolish and ignorant of his Mother that he said, 'I am (the only) God; there is no-one beside me'. (p.69) In the Secret Book of John, the creator of Adam and Eve, when he said: 'I am a jealous God and there is no other God besides me.' But by announcing this he indicated to the angels ... that another God does exist; for if there were no other one, of whom would he be jealous?... Then the Mother began to be distressed."

Eve too has different roles within Gnosticism. For example she is often seen as the embodiment of the supreme feminine principle, called barbelo, barbeloth, or barthenos. As such she is equated with the Light-Maiden of Sophia (Wisdom), creator of the word (Logos) of God, the "thygater tou photos" or simply the Virgin Maiden, "parthenos". Again, in conventional Christianity, this is a prefigurement of Mary, also sometimes called "the Second Eve". In other Gnostic texts, such as The Hypostasis of the Archons, (The Reality of the Rulers), the Pistis Sophia is equated with Eve's daughter, Norea, the wife of Seth.

As a result of such Gnostic beliefs, especially amongst Marcionites, women were considered equal to men, being revered as prophets, teachers, travelling evangelists, faith healers, priests and even bishops.

Main article: Manichaeans

This is taken up in the Manichaean belief that the Protanthropos is seen as "the World Soul", (Anima Mundi), sent to fight against darkness. The "Fall" is then seen as the primordial man being delivered up to evil and swallowed in darkness, with the Universe as a whole now existing as a means of delivering the primordial Adam from Darkness. Here too the intercourse between Adam and Eve was seen as the way in which darkness overcame the light.

"Mani said, 'Then Jesus came and spoke to the one who had been born, who was Adam, and explained to him (about) the gardens (of Paradise), the deities, Gehenna, the satans, earth, heaven, sun, and moon. He also made him fear Eve, showing him how to suppress (desire) for her, and he forbade him to approach her, and made him fear to be near her, so that he did (what Jesus commanded). Then that (male) archon came back to his daughter, who was Eve, and lustfully had intercourse with her. He engendered with her a son, deformed in shape and possessing a red complexion, and his name was Cain, the Red Man. Then that son had intercourse with his mother, and engendered with her a son of white complexion, whose name was Abel, the White Man. Then Cain again had intercourse with his mother, and engendered with her two girls, one of whom was named Hakimat al-Dahr and the other Ibnat al-Hirê . Then Cain took Ibnat al-Hirê as his wife and presented Hakimat al-Dahr to Abel, and he took her as his wife.'" [14]

Gnostics seem to have taken the Marcionite belief that the Wrathful Yahweh of the Torah and the loving Father of Christianity were two separate divinities. In their book "The Origin of the World" for instance it states:-

The heaven and his earth were destroyed by the troublemaker that was below them all. And the six heavens shook violently; for the forces of chaos knew who it was that had destroyed the heaven that was below them. And when Pistis (Faith) knew about the breakage resulting from the disturbance, she sent forth her breath and bound him and cast him down into Tartaros. Since that day, the heaven, along with its earth, has consolidated itself through Sophia (Wisdom) the daughter of Yaldabaoth, she who is below them all.

Now when the heavens had consolidated themselves along with their forces and all their administration, the prime parent became insolent. And he was honored by all the army of angels. And all the gods and their angels gave blessing and honor to him. And for his part, he was delighted and continually boasted, saying to them, "I have no need of anyone." He said, "It is I who am God, and there is no other one that exists apart from me." And when he said this, he sinned against all the immortal beings who give answer. And they laid it to his charge.

Then when Pistis saw the impiety of the chief ruler, she was filled with anger. She was invisible. She said, "You are mistaken, Samael," (that is, "blind god"). "There is an immortal man of light who has been in existence before you, and who will appear among your modelled forms; he will trample you to scorn, just as potter's clay is pounded. And you will descend to your mother, the abyss, along with those that belong to you.

Gnostic accounts also turned the identification of the serpent with Satan on its head, and the serpent was seen as the hero, particularly to Ophites, who was trying to help the couple gain knowledge to defeat evil Samael, whom the Gnostics saw as the jealous demiurge of the creation.

There is also the tradition that Satan refused to bow to Adam as a result of his exclusive love of God, and felt that bowing to humankind was a form of idolatry. This tradition informs the treatment of Satan in some forms of Christian gnosticism.

More extended versions of the fall of Satan exist in which he leads a divine war, which, while in works such as the Book of Enoch is recorded as being in heaven after Satan turns away from God.
[edit]

Islamic tradition

The Qur'an tells of ??? (?Adam) in the surah al-Baqara (2):30-39, al-A'raf (7):11-25, al-Hijr (15):26-44, al-Isra (17):61-65, Ta-Ha (20):115-124, and Sad (38):71-85.

The early Islamic commentator Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari adds a number of details to the Torah, based on claimed hadith as well as specific Jewish traditions (so-called isra'iliyyat)[15]. Tabari records that when it came time to create Adam, God sent Gabriel (Jibril), then Michael (Mika'il), to fetch clay from the earth; but the earth complained, saying I take refuge in God from you, if you have come to diminish or deform me, so the angels returned empty-handed. Tabari goes on to state that God responded by sending the Angel of Death, who took clay from all regions, hence providing an explanation for the variety of appearances of the different races of mankind.

According to Tabari's account, after receiving the breath of God, Adam remained a dry body for 40 days, then gradually came to life from the head downwards, sneezing when he had finished coming to life, saying All praise be to God, the Lord of all beings[citation needed]. Having been created, Adam, the first man, is described as having been given dominion over all the lower creatures, which he proceeds to name. As one of the people to whom God is said to have spoken to directly, Adam is seen as a prophet in Islam.

At this point, Adam takes a prominent role in Islamic traditions concerning the fall of Satan, which is not recorded in the Torah, but in the Book of Enoch which is used in Oriental Orthodox churches. In these, when God announces his intention of creating Adam, some of the angels express dismay, asking why he would create a being that would do evil. Teaching Adam the names reassures the angels as to Adam's abilities, though commentators dispute which particular names were involved; various theories say they were the names of all things animate and inanimate, the names of the angels, the names of his own descendants, or the names of God.

When God orders the angels to bow to Adam one of those present, Satan (Iblis in Islam, regarded as a jinn rather than an angel, and hence avoiding questions about angels having free will), refuses due to his pride, and is summarily banished from the heavens. Liberal movements within Islam have viewed God's commanding the angels to bow before Adam as an exaltation of humanity, and as a means of supporting human rights, others view it as an act of showing Adam that the biggest enemy of humans on earth will be their ego.[16]

More extended versions of the fall of Satan also exist in works such as that of Tabari, and the Shia commentator al-Qummi. In these explanations Iblis is sent against the jinn, who had angered God by sin and fighting. In such versions where Satan leads the battle on God's behalf, rather than his own, it is the pride and conceit resulting from his victory which results in his expulsion, since pride is seen as a sin. Islamic traditions further record that, in vengeful anger, Iblis promises God that he will lead as many humans astray as he can, to which God replies that it is the choice of humans - those who so desire will follow Satan, while those who so desire will follow God.

Eve is not mentioned by name in the Qur'an, she is nevertheless referred to as Adam's spouse, and Islamic tradition refers to her by an etymologically similar name - ???? (Hawwa?) . In fact, although her creation is not recounted in the Qur'an, Tabari recounts the biblical tale of her creation, stating that she was named because she was created from a living thing (her name means living). The torah gives an etymology for woman, or rather the Hebrew equivalent (ish-shah), stating that she should be called woman since she was taken out of man (ish in Hebrew). The etymology is regarded as implausible by most semitic linguists. Interestingly, Quran blame both, Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit. Hence, from Islamic point of view, this event doesn't pose a problem of women inferiority to men intrinsically.

Al-Qummi records the opinion that Eden was not entirely earthly, and so, having been sent to earth, Adam and Eve first arrived at mountain peaks outside Mecca; Adam on Safa, and Eve on Marwa. In this Islamic tradition, Adam remained weeping for 40 days, until he repented, at which point God rewarded him by sending down the Kaaba, and teaching him the hajj. Other Islamic traditions hold that Adam was moved to Sri Lanka, as the next best thing to Eden, and, viewing Adam as having been a giant, human size having shrunk drastically before the great flood, Adam's Peak is said to contain his giant footprint.

The Qur'an also describes the two sons of Adam (named Qabil and Habil in Islamic tradition, but not mentioned by name in the Qur'an) that correspond to Cain and Abel.

However, some Islamic scholars, do believe that Adam was the first prophet to the humans rather being the first human, they have strong references from Quran guiding to that creation was rather a plural action, as well as, Adam was sent to already created humans who where committing lot of sins to teach them how to be good and well representative of God on the earth.
[edit]

Historicity

Many postmodern Christian and Jewish scholars consider Adam and Eve as an example of religious myth focusing on the teaching of perceived fundamental truths. In their interpretation, the story's purpose is to convey the importance and truth of sin and human rebellion in their traditions, regardless of historical accuracy. All, some, or none of the actual events of the narrative may have actually happened, or been embellished, although there is no real evidence of embellishment of this narrative in the Masoretic Text.

Adam and Eve are often considered as real historical people, as Genesis 5:4 records Adam within a genealogy. In the New Testament, Paul references Adam and Eve many times, especially contrasting Adam with Jesus where Paul writes "just as sin entered the world through one man." This seems to support a historical Adam as many theologians interpret Adam's sin as a historical event that changed humankind. However, Paul could be merely using the myth as a teaching method. Others view Adam and Eve as metaphorical for every person when they first sin and God seeks them out. Those who hold this view point out that adam can also be translated humankind.

The Age of Reason prompted Christians to interpret the Bible as strict history rather than historical myth; William Whiston was one such early scholar. James Ussher calculated Adam and Eve's life at approximately 4,000 BC, basing on the Genealogies of Genesis and Table of Nations.

In modern times, with the advent of archaeological discoveries, the theory of evolution, and genetic science, Christians believing in the historicity of Adam and Eve were challenged. Many denominations have rejected the historicity of Adam and Eve; others have retained it, including (at least officially) the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), the Roman Catholic Church[17]and evangelicals.
[edit]

Ancestry and evolutionary biology

The idea of a single male and female human ancestor is contradictory to normative evolutionary theory. In this theory, a population of humans gradually evolved from other hominans, and the population size was never two. If the population size had been just two, humans would almost certainly have become extinct if global states of entropy were not significantly less than present. Somewhat confusingly however, geneticists have identified individuals dubbed "Y-chromosomal Adam" and "Mitochondrial Eve". Mitochondrial Eve is the common matrilineal ancestor of all humans alive today whilst Y-chromosomal Adam is the common patrilineal ancestor who lived many millennia after Mitochondrial Eve. This does not mean the human population was ever two people, refer to the articles for more detail.
[edit]

Cultural influence

Early Renaissance artists used the theme of Adam and Eve as a way to represent female and male nudes. Later, the nudity was objected to by more modest elements, and fig leaves were added to the older pictures and sculptures, covering their genitals. The choice of the fig was a result of Mediterranean traditions identifying the unnamed Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as a fig tree, and since figs leaves were actually mentioned in Genesis as being used to cover Adam and Eve's nudity.

Another issue was whether they should be depicted with navels. Since they were created fully grown, and did not develop in a uterus, they would not have had the umbilical scars possesed by all born humans. However, paintings without navels looked unnatural.

In Northern Europe, the unnamed "Forbidden fruit" became considered a form of apple, because of a misunderstanding of the Latin "malum", where malum as an adjective means evil, but as a noun means apple. The larynx in the human throat, noticeably more prominent in males, was consequently called an Adam's apple, from a notion that it was caused by the forbidden fruit sticking in Adam's throat as he swallowed, and the name has stuck.

Some Slavonic texts state that the "forbidden fruit" was actually the grape, that was later changed in its nature and made into something good, much as the serpent was changed by losing its legs and speech.

Cockney Rhyming Slang uses "Adam and Eve" to mean "believe" (e.g. "Would you Adam and Eve it?", meaning "Would you believe it?"). This phrase is atypical, in that unlike most cockney rhyming slang, both the rhyming and non-rhyming parts are used.

Jules Verne's The Eternal Adam presents a catastrophe that submerges all dry land and raises some submarine terrain. Among the survivors there are one Adam and one Eve. The resulting mankind holds them mythical. It is revealed that mankind has passed several times for a new creation, reproducing itself from pairs of Adams and Eves.

In C.S. Lewis' The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe of The Chronicles of Narnia series of novels, the kings and queens that sit on Narnia's throne at the castle in Narnia's capital, Cair Paravel, are referred to as "Sons of Adam" and "Daughters of Eve". In the story, two male and two female humans are to sit on the four thrones of Cair Paravel to signify the return of peace to Narnia.

John Steinbeck's 1952 novel East of Eden is based of the story of Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel. It was later made in to a film starring James Dean.

In late 20th Century / early 21st Century politics, the names of Adam and Eve are frequently invoked by those who oppose homosexuality on a religious basis, in the slogans "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" and "God made Adam and Eve, not Madam and Eve."

In the television series Neon Genesis Evangelion and its film sequels Evangelion: Death and Rebirth and The End of Evangelion, the first Angel is named Adam and all but one of the Evangelion mecha are created from this being's substance. As "Evangelion" is usually shortened to "Eva", the form of the name "Eve" in many languages, this creation myth parallels the Old Testament version. Also, one of the possible interpretations of the ending of The End of Evangelion is that Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Soryu are slated to play the roles of the post-Third Impact Adam and Eve.

Now, it is in no way apparent how such an opinion can be reconciled that which the sources of revealed truth and the documents of the teaching authority of the Church proposed with regard to original sin which proceeds from a sin actually committed by an individual Adam in which through generation is passed onto all and is in everyone as his own" [1]

Father and Patriarch of the Human Race on the earth. His trangression in the garden of Eden, although designated as a 'fall", was necessary to the advancement and spiritual progress of humanity on this earth. Adam is the Ancient of Days and is also know as Michael. He is the archangel and will come again to the earth in power and glory as the patriarch of the human family, preparatory to the second coming of Jesus Christ. He had a pure and perfect language that was both written and spoken; he was taught the gospel of Jesus Christ; he was baptized in water and received the Holy Ghost; and he was visited personally by the Lord.

The name "Adam" originated from the Hebrew word, pronounced aw-dawm, which means man, as a species, male and female. The Holy Scriptures use this literal meaning for Adam, meaning simply humans.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Sumerian Mythology has a parallel for Adam named [http://www.geni.com/profile/index/6000000003645882266 Enki] and has an entire family tree of his ancestors. The descendants of Adam/Enki and Eve/Ninti are pretty much the same in both trees, so are continued in this tree only.

Please do NOT merge these two trees as this will only create conflicts that can NOT be resolved.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adam och Eva är enligt Bibelns skapelseberättelse de första människorna.

Adam och Eva förekommer som namn första gången i Första Mosebokens fjärde respektive tredje kapitel.

Adam kommer från det hebreiska ordet adamá, som betyder jord. I den hebreiska ursprungsversionen av Gamla Testamentet används ordet adám, vilket betyder jording, jordvarelse eller människa. Ordet adam finns även i persiskan och betyder där helt enkelt människa.

Eva kommer av det hebreiska ordet chava (chawwá) vilket betyder levande och betecknar den bibliska urmodern. Chavah förekommer i 1 Mosebok 3:20 *) och har på svenska fått översättningen Eva (lat. Eva och Heva, eng. Eve). Ursprungligen är ordet inte ett namn utan betyder helt enkelt att ge liv, det vill säga mänsklighetens livmoder. Motsvarande ord i persiskan är hava.

Nu för tiden är Eva som egennamn mycket vanligt.

*)Versen i Bibel 2000 lyder "Mannen gav sin hustru namnet Eva, ty hon blev moder till alla som lever".

Olika tolkningar av berättelsen om Adam och Eva [redigera]
Berättelsen om Adam och Eva kan tolkas på olika sätt. Hur berättelsen tolkas bottnar ofta i läsarens bibelsyn.

En del menar att det är en historisk berättelse, att världen skapades på sju dagar, att Adam och Eva var två personer som alla människor härstammar ifrån, att de levde i Edens lustgård och åt av kunskapens frukt (något äpple nämns aldrig i Bibeln) och sedan kastades ut, se syndafallet. Denna tolkning är vanlig bland kreationister, och kritiseras på samma grunder som kreationismen i stort.

Därutöver kan nämnas ett gammalt sofistiskt argument mot denna tolkning: Adams och Evas son Kain enligt Bibeln "drog bort, undan Herren och slog sig ned i landet Nod". Så långt finns bara Adam, Eva och Kain (Abel är redan ihjälslagen). Sedan står det att "Kain låg med sin hustru" (bägge texterna ur 1 Mos 4). Eftersom denna hustru inte har nämnts tidigare i texten tas det som argument för att hon logiskt sett inte existerar. Detta argument har dock bemötts med att Kain gifte sig med en av sina systrar; enligt 1 Mos 5:4 fick Adam och Eva "söner och döttrar". [1]

En annan tolkning av berättelsen om Adam och Eva är att den är en mytisk eller symbolisk skildring av människans ursprung. Enligt denna tolkning är Adam och Eva inte två individer utan orden används som beteckning för "den levande (=Eva) mänskligheten (=Adam)". När detta väl har etablerats personifieras dessa två som individer. Berättelsen ska då inte förstås bokstavligt utan innebörden är att Gud skapade mänskligheten och gav henne liv. Människan vände sig sedan bort från Gud, vilket berättas i form av Edens lustgård och kunskapens frukt.

Kritiken mot denna tolkning är tvådelad: dels att texten till sin litterära form är prosa och en mytisk/symbolisk tolkning skulle därvid göra våld på författaren(-arnas) intention, och dels att Bibeln anses bli självmotsägande om berättelsen tolkas mytiskt/symboliskt. Exempelvis synes Paulus betrakta Adam, Moses och Jesus som historiska personer, och syndafallet som en verklig händelse i Romarbrevets femte kapitel.

Adam is the Father [ and Patriach ] of all of the human family. He is the
ancestor of all persons who ever lived or will liveon this earth.

In the pre-existenct life, he was known as Michael the Archangle. When Lucifer
and one-third of the host of heaven rebeled againest the Father, Michael led
the righteous forces in the war in heaven. He participated with Christ in the
creation of the earth.

Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden with a body created in the image of God.
When Eve and Adam fell from grace in the Garden, their bodies became mortal
and subject to death. The fall of Adam, by introducing sin and death into the
world, made necessary the mission of a Savior to overcome both sin and death.

[The aggregate of the scriptures certifies that his transgression in the Garden
of Eden, although designated as a "fall," was necessary to the advancement and
spiritual progress of human race on the earth (Adam fell that

men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.- 2 Nephi 2:25). - Bible
Dictionary p 604]. [children]

One of the greatest spiritual gathering of all the ages took place in the
Valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman shortly before the death of Adam some more then five
thousand years ago. The Lord has revealed:

Three years previous to the death of Adam, he Called Seth, Enos,

Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, who were all high priests, with the residue of his
posterity who were righteous, into the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and there
bestowed upon them his last blessing. And the Lord appeared unto them, and they
rose up and blessed Adam, and they called him Michael, the prince, the
archangel.

And the Lord administered comfort unto Adam, and said unto him: I have set
thee to be at the head; a multitude of nations shall come of thee, thou art a
prince over them forever.

And Adam stood up in the midst of the congergation; and, notwithstanding he
was bowed down with age, being full of the Holy Ghost, perdicted whatsoever
should befall his posterity unto the lastest generation. (D&C 107:53-57)
Shortly before the Second Coming of Christ, Adam will again visit the earth and
preside over an important council at Adam-ondi-Ahman. There he will receive an
accounting from those who have held the keys of authority in the various
dispensations. Christ will then come to the gathering and receive back the
keys, thus taking one of the final steps leading to His coming in glory and
personal reign upon the earth.

Adam was the FIRST MAN

Now think about Adam. Was he born in the same way you or I were? Hecertainly was not. He was made directly by God from the dust of the earth.

In Genesis 2:7 we read, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of theground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man becamea living soul."

Adam was not born of a woman. He was the first human. In l Corinthians15:45 we read, "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made aliving soul." Adam was the first man.

This is an important point by the way, there were no other human beingsmade alongside Adam.

[See the Origin of Humans section of the CreationSuperLibrary.com]

Adam had the FIRST OPERATION

Consider Genesis 2:21-22,

"And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; Andthe rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, andbrought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones,and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was takenout of Man."

Genesis 3:20 states:

"And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was [to be] the motherof all living."

The first woman (the first wife) was made directly from part of Adam. Shewas not born of a woman either. Adam and Eve were unique. Neither of themwould have had a navel. When you think about it, that would have been atremendous witness to everyone who saw them while they were alive. Theyhad evidence that they were the first two people.

Did Adam have one fewer rib than Eve?

I have often had people ask me, after reading the passage about thecreation of woman, why men don't have one fewer rib than women if Godmade Eve from Adam's side (or rib). The way I answer this is: If a manhad an accident and his leg was amputated as a result, and then hemarried and had children, would all his children have only one leg?

of course not! This is because the instructions for how we areconstructed are contained in the DNA in the nucleus of our cells - in ourgenes. When God took part of Adam to make Eve, He didn't change Adam'sgenes. All the information in Adam's genes was still there.

Adam was the FIRST HUSBAND

Eve was made specially for Adam. This was the first marriage. That is whyJesus in Matthew 19:4-6 reminded people that the meaning of marriage isdependent on the origin of marriage - and the first marriage is inGenesis:

"And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which madethem at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this causeshall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: andthey twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but oneflesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

Adam was the FIRST FARMER

In Genesis 2:15 we read, 'And the Lord God took the man, and put him intothe garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.' Adam, the first man, wastold to work, and to look after the garden God had made.

This would not have been a chore. This would have been a joy for Adam.This was a perfect garden. There were no thorns and thistles, as thesedid not come until after God had cursed the earth. And because everythingGod had made was 'very good' (Genesis 1:31), Adam, the plants, thegarden, and in fact every thing, would have been perfect.

How different this is to today's world. How different looking aftergardens and farming is today!

Adam was the FIRST TAXONOMIST

We are told that Adam named many of the animals, Genesis 2:19-20:

"And out of the ground the Lord God [had] formed every beast of thefield, and every fowl of the air and brought them unto Adam to see whathe would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature,that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to thefowl of the air, and to every beast of the field."

Man has always given names to things. Scientists who give names to thedifferent animals and plants are called taxonomists. Anyone who studiestaxonomy knows how hard it is to remember all of those names. Adam wouldnot have had this problem because he was made perfect. He would have beenas intelligent as man could ever be.

Adam was the FIRST GENIUS

By the way, to name the animals, Adam must have been able to speak. Hemust have had a complex language right from the start. He did not evenhave to learn to speak as we have to. He was made as a mature human being.

How different it was for Adam. He awoke after his creation, a consciousbeing, fully formed, able to communicate and understand.

Have you ever thought about the fact that Adam did not see God make him?The evidence that God created was all around Adam though. Adam did noteven see God make Eve. This means Adam had to have faith in God's Wordconcerning where he came from, just as we have to have faith today. Butjust like Adam, we have plenty of evidence that God created just the wayHis Word states.

Some people think that because Adam had to name all those animals on daysix of creation, this could not have been an ordinary day. They think itmust have been a long period of time. I am often told that there is noway someone could name all of the names in one day. However, people whosay this usually think that because they couldn't name and remember allthe names, Adam could not have either.

The Bible, though, tells us that the first man Adam rebelled against Godand sin came into the world. Ever since, the creation has been runningdown. Not only are there no perfect humans in the world now, but allhumans have lots of mistakes on their genes (mutational defects orcopying mistakes that slowly accumulate in the human race).

The first man had no mistakes when he was made - he was perfect.

I think we can get a glimpse (looking through a glass dimly, so to speak)of what Adam was like by observing certain people today. I have metpeople who have photographic memories, others who are brilliant artists.I have read about people who can play musical instruments brilliantlyfrom a very young age, such as Mozart. Others can do extremely complexmathematical computations in their head which even advanced computerstake time to accomplish.

If we put all these talents, plus much more, into one person, I think weare getting close to what Adam was like. Almost makes you feel depressed,doesn't it?

We have to realize that Adam was so much more intelligent than we are. Weare even told that we don't use much of our brain power. Imagine a humanwho could use all of his brain power. It was certainly no problem forAdam to name and remember animals on one day.

[Editors note: See -- Adam and the naming of the animals, could all ofthe events recorded on the 6th day of creation really have taken placeduring a normal, 24-hour-type day? Answer...(http://christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-c001.html)]

Was Adam brown-skinned?

We can't say for sure, but I suspect Adam had a middle-brown skin color.All humans have the same skin color. We have a pigment called melanin. Ifwe have a lot of this pigment we are very dark (even black). If we don'thave much of this pigment we are very fair ('white').

In The Answers, it is explained that from two people having the right mixof dominant and recessive genes for the amount of melanin, all shades ofcolour in humans could arise. Thus, if Adam and Eve were both amiddle-brown colour, all shades from 'black' through to 'white' could beaccounted for in their children and future generations. For the samereason, Adam and Eve probably had brown eyes and dark hair.

In a similar sort of way, if Adam had blood group 'A', and Eve had bloodgroup 'B', all of the 'ABO' blood groups (A, AS, B. O) could arise.

Adam was the FIRST FATHER

Genesis 5:4 tells us that Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters.Jewish tradition has it that they had 56 children altogether! RememberAdam lived for 930 years (Genesis 5:5).

If Adam and Eve were the first humans, and all people have descended fromthem (Acts 17:26, 'And hath made of one blood all nations of men . . .'),then somewhere brothers had to marry sisters.

Adam was the FIRST SINNER

Adam was told he could not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good andevil (Genesis 2:17). Therefore, if Adam, being the head of the humanrace, disobeyed, all of his descendants would have to suffer theconsequences.

Eve took the fruit and ate it, and gave it to her husband, Adam, who waswith her, and he ate it also.

Read about it in God's Story
Even though Eve was the one tempted by the serpent, and the one who firstate the forbidden fruit, Adam is the one who brought sin into the world,because he was the head of the human race and the one to whom thecommandment had first been given.

Romans 5:12 states: "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all havesinned."

Because of this sin of rebelling against God's law, God cursed the ground(Genesis 3:17), caused thorns and thistles to come forth (Genesis 3:1 8),and introduced death into the world - Adam and Eve died spiritually, andstarted to die physically.

The first physical death recorded is that of at least one animal when"unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, endclothed them." God killed an animal, and shed blood, and gave a coveringto Adam and Eve. This is a beautiful picture of something special to come- that shed blood would be a covering because of sin.

Hebrews 9:22 states that "without shedding of blood [there] is noremission." God requires the shedding of blood for the remission of sins.However, the blood of bulls and goats was not good enough. Because a manbrought sin into the world, a man needed to atone - but it had to be aperfect man. If all descendants of Adam now suffered from sin, how couldthis be accomplished?

First Adam needed a 'Last Adam'

Read about it in God's Story

God provided a second Adam--a perfect Adam who could be the perfectsacrifice. God himself came to earth as a man.

Jesus Christ, the second member of the Trinity, was born of a woman tobecome a man so that the perfect sacrifice could be made. Jesus was God,but He was also man as God intended man to be--sinless. He was crucifiedon the cross of Calvary. He shed His blood and paid the penalty for oursins, and was raised from the dead, conquering death, the judgment whichGod had brought upon man because of sin.

That is why Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:20-22:

"But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits ofthem that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also theresurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shallall be made alive."

We read further in 1 Corinthians 15:45-47:

"And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; thelast Adam was made a quickening spirit.... The first man is of the earth,earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven."

First Corinthians 15:26 states: "The last enemy that shall be destroyedis death." Death is swallowed up in victory, Paul says. And we can saywith him, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"(1 Corinthians 15:55). Christ has paid the penalty. The last Adam hasconquered death and provided a means of deliverance from the first Adam'sfall into sin, resulting in separation from God.
