Adamah (Biblical Hebrew : אדמה) is a word, translatable as ground or earth, which occurs in the Genesis creation narrative. The etymological link between the word adamah and the word adam is used to reinforce the teleological link between humankind and the ground, emphasising both the way in which man was created to cultivate the world, and how he originated from the "dust of the ground". Because man is both made from the adamah and inhabits it, his duty to realise his own potential is linked to a corresponding duty to the earth. In Eden, the adamah has primarily positive connotations, although Adam's close relationship with the adamah has been interpreted as likening him to the serpent, which crawls upon the ground, thus emphasising his animal nature.

  • Adamah (Biblical Hebrew : אדמה) is a word, translatable as ground or earth, which occurs in the Genesis creation narrative. The etymological link between the word adamah and the word adam is used to reinforce the teleological link between humankind and the ground, emphasising both the way in which man was created to cultivate the world, and how he originated from the "dust of the ground". Because man is both made from the adamah and inhabits it, his duty to realise his own potential is linked to a corresponding duty to the earth. In Eden, the adamah has primarily positive connotations, although Adam's close relationship with the adamah has been interpreted as likening him to the serpent, which crawls upon the ground, thus emphasising his animal nature. After the fall of man, the adamah is duly corrupted with Adam's punishment of lifelong agricultural toil. This explains why Yahweh (God) favours Abel's sacrifice of sheep to Cain's offering of the "land's produce" - Abel has progressed from the sin of his father, while Cain has not. The adamah is also complicit in Cain's later murder of Abel, swallowing Abel's innocent blood as if to try to conceal the crime. Yahweh punishes Cain by making the ground barren to him, estranging him from the adamah. In Hebrew, adamah is a feminine form, and the word has strong connections with woman in theology. One analogy is that the adamah is to man as a woman is to her husband: man has a duty to cultivate the earth in the same way that a husband has a duty to be fruitful with his wife. Irenaeus likened the Virgin Mary, who bore the Christ, to the adamah from which Adam came. (en)
  • Adamah (Bahasa Ibrani Alkitabiah : אדמה) adalah sebuah kata, yang diterjemahkan menjadi tanah atau bumi, yang muncul dalam kisah penciptaan dalam kitab Kejadian. Hubungan etimologi antar kata adamah dan adam dipakai untuk menguatkan hubungan teleologi antara umat manusia dan tanah, menyatakan bahwa manusia diciptakan untuk mengurusi dunia, dan bagaimana ia bermula dari "debu tanah". Karena manusia berasal dari adamah dan mendiaminya, tugasnya untuk mewujudkan potensinya sendiri dihubungkan dengan tugas untuk mengurusi bumi. (in)
  • 아다마 (: אדמה)는 창세기의 천지창조에서 나오는 땅 또는 지구로 번역되는 단어이다. 단어 아다마와 단어 아담 사이의 어원 관계는 사람이 세상을 육성하기 위해 만들어진 방식과 그가 "흙의 먼지"에서 나왔음을 둘 다 강조하여, 인간과 땅 사이의 목적론적 관계를 강화하기 위해 사용됐다. 사람이 모두 아다마에서 만들어졌으며 서식하기 때문에, 그의 지구로의 의무에 해당하는 것과 관련된 잠재력을 실현 시키기 위해서이다. 아다마와 아담의 긴밀한 관계는 지상을 기는 뱀의 동물의 특성을 강조해, 그를 비유로 해석되었지만, 에덴에서 아다마는 주로 긍정적인 함의를 가지고 있다.
