STRONGS G76:
Ἀδάμ, indeclinable proper name (but in Josephus,
Ἄδαμος,
-ου),
אָדָם (i. e. according to Philo, de leg. alleg. i. 29, Opp. i. p. 62, Mang. edition,
γήϊνος; according to Eusebius, Prep. Ev. 7:8
γηγενής; according to Josephus, Antiquities 1, 1, 2
πυρρός, with which Gesenius agrees, see his Thesaurus i. p. 25);
1. Adam, the first man and the parent of the whole human race:
Luke 3:38;
Romans 5:14;
1 Corinthians 15:22,
45;
1 Timothy 2:13;
Jude 1:14. In accordance with the rabbinic distinction between the former Adam (
הָרִאשׁון אָדָם), the first man, the author of 'all our woe,' and the latter Adam (
הָאַחֲרון אָדָם), the Messiah, the redeemer, in
1 Corinthians 15:45 Jesus Christ is called
ὁ ἔσχατος Ἀδάμ (see
ἔσχατος, 1) and contrasted with
ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος;
Romans 5:14 ὁ μέλλων namely,
Ἀδάμ.
[2. one of the ancestors of Jesus:
Luke 3:33 WH marginal reading (cf.
Ἀδμείν).]
