[4] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

adam
   red, a babylonian word, the generic name for man, having the
   same meaning in the hebrew and the assyrian languages. it was
   the name given to the first man, whose creation, fall, and
   subsequent history and that of his descendants are detailed in
   the first book of moses gen. 1:27-ch. 5. "god created man
   heb., adam in his own image, in the image of god created he
   him; male and female created he them."
   
     adam was absolutely the first man whom god created. he was
   formed out of the dust of the earth and hence his name, and
   god breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and gave him
   dominion over all the lower creatures gen. 1:26; 2:7. he was
   placed after his creation in the garden of eden, to cultivate
   it, and to enjoy its fruits under this one prohibition: "of the
   tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it;
   for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
   
     the first recorded act of adam was his giving names to the
   beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, which god brought
   to him for this end. thereafter the lord caused a deep sleep to
   fall upon him, and while in an unconscious state took one of his
   ribs, and closed up his flesh again; and of this rib he made a
   woman, whom he presented to him when he awoke. adam received her
   as his wife, and said, "this is now bone of my bones, and flesh
   of my flesh: she shall be called woman, because she was taken
   out of man." he called her eve, because she was the mother of
   all living.
   
     being induced by the tempter in the form of a serpent to eat
   the forbidden fruit, eve persuaded adam, and he also did eat.
   thus man fell, and brought upon himself and his posterity all
   the sad consequences of his transgression. the narrative of the
   fall comprehends in it the great promise of a deliverer gen.
   3:15, the "first gospel" message to man. they were expelled
   from eden, and at the east of the garden god placed a flame,
   which turned every way, to prevent access to the tree of life
   gen. 3. how long they were in paradise is matter of mere
   conjecture.
   
     shortly after their expulsion eve brought forth her
   first-born, and called him cain. although we have the names of
   only three of adam's sons, viz., cain, abel, and seth, yet it is
   obvious that he had several sons and daughters gen. 5:4. he
   died aged 930 years.
   
     adam and eve were the progenitors of the whole human race.
   evidences of varied kinds are abundant in proving the unity of
   the human race. the investigations of science, altogether
   independent of historical evidence, lead to the conclusion that
   god "hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on
   all the face of the earth" acts 17:26. comp. rom. 5:12-12; 1
   cor. 15:22-49.
